Now BigLion+Taktix can cheat in few-men endgames, by using tablebases.
Implementation involved a lot of "trial and error", but should be stable.
Now, please, test them.
Thanks,
Matthias.

Hi Matthias,
Your readme and homepage still say: "tablebases are disabled" but I understands they can be used now, right?
Question: Which one (BigLion or Taktix) do you prefer to let me use at the 3rd division of WBEC?
Best wishes and thaks for the updates!
Leo.

Hi Leo,
I am too lazy to update homepage and readme.txt now .
I prefer that you use BigLion. As usual, you shall play a test game
with Ponder=ON and send me BigLion.txt and BigLion.ini for tuning.
But we still have much time before Group B starts.
Regards,
Matthias.

I think this was always there when you want to play
against it as Human.

Hi Michel,
BigLion WB and Taktix WB hate human beings (and Arena ?) .
Testing possible only in engine-engine mode under Winboard or as UCI engines.
I shall tell them much later to like human beings.
Regards,
Matthias.

Leo's Pages list Biglion/Taktix as being from Cameroon. The homepage of both is listed as http://www.gemuh.de, a German top-level domain. Which makes me wonder... are Biglion/Taktix from Cameroon or Germany? If from Cameroon, why register a .de domain when gemuh.com is available? (I checked)

I am Cameroonian, but presently in Germany.
I think my german provider did not offer .com domains when my homepage was born,
but I am not sure any more. Also I don't care much about domains .

Matthias.

So BigLion is actually the champion of Africa! This is sensational news. You bet, BigLion will get even more fans from now on.
Bravo for Cameroon!
