Sujet: About the endgames

Caissus, I generated every mate possible with 5-piece in Gothic Chess. That is, I have the "5-piece tablebases" completed for Gothic Chess.

My solutions are not from Vortex, these are actually forced mates.

I started by identifying all checkmated positions. Then, I find all of the moves that lead to a mate in 1, a mate in 2, a mate in 3, etc.

This program ran for several months and solved all such mates.

The endgame databases will be part of the next version of Vortex so you can see for yourself.
