During the course of solving various lines, I have built various tablebases
to expedite the process. Originally I had only the 4-piece endgames (and
indeed, the PN-search only uses these), but then built the 5-piece for use
in the upper-level tree, and the 5-vs-K (assuming various promotion rules)
for 1. e3 e6, and 4-vs-KK (and 4-vs-KN) when solving 1. e3 c5.

Ben Nye had already built the 5-piece (for FICS rules) maybe a decade ago,

Francu has 5-piece TBs (FICS) in the DTC metric available online.

I think Ronald de Man has built a complete set of 6-piece TBs in DTZ.

On this page I list the various maximal length losses in my TBs.

On this page there is info about full-point zugzwangs.

The code I used is an adaption of the RobboBase code of "Roberto Pescatore"
that was included with the IPPOLIT project (which was probably the best freely
available TB code when I started in 2012), though I managed to lobotomise most
of the clever ideas (SMP build is gone, as is the BlockedPawn single unit).

Here is an interesting NNNNP vs K endgame. White to play takes until the
90th move for a conversion (DTC) is made. (Black wins in the end).

Here is the original position (bNd8 bNb7 bNa6 bPe6 bNb5 wKd1)


Here is the position after Black's 51st move.


The White King seems to shuffle around the third rank for 50 moves, then
finally Black has been able to work-out the sliding-block puzzle of his
Knights, and at about move 70 White recedes to the 2nd rank, then loses.
Black plays e5 at move 79, but maybe could push the pawn before that.
