=Pros=
* Small size: it is the main success key of Syzygy. The small size helps to create, store and provide it much easier than other EGTBs
* Support [[DTZ50]] metric. That metric can help engines to have better results than [[DTM]] which is supported widely by other EGTBs
=Cons=
* Hard to integrate with chess engines. [[Ronald de Man]] has not provided probing code as an independent library. Instead, he provided it as a part of [[Stockfish]] chess engines. The code has integrated too deeply with that chess engine code. All make the reuse of the code for other chess engines become hard jobs
* Hard to understand and contribute to the project. ETGB itself is a hard topic. Syzygy has also integrated with many advance techniques/tricks. It is written in old-style C language. All make it become very hard to understand and/or modify to improve or for other purposes
* [[DTZ50]] metric may lead the engines to win in significantly longer ways, compared with [[DTM]] one
