Hi,
I have written a program that reads Steven Edwards' endgame
tablebases and gives a perfect evaluation for positions
in these databases.  The routine has two functions:
database_init() and database_score() and can be plugged
directly into gnuchess.

Anyone care to fully incorperate it into gnuchess?

Simple adding it to the evaluation routine will not work
as (disk) access to the databases is slow, and search
should be terminated after a database-position is reiched.
