Pros & Cons
=Pros & Cons=
==Pros==
* Small sizes. It is about 8 times as small as the second-best EGTBs. Having small sizes is the main success key of Syzygy Bases since it helps is much easier to create, store and , provide it much easier , download than other EGTBs
* Free and more popular (than other EGTBs) to find on the Internet
* Support [[Endgame Tablebases#DTZ50|DTZ50]] metric. That metric can help engines to have better results than [[Endgame Tablebases#DTM|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 but as a part of [[Stockfish]] chess engines. The probe code has integrated too deeply with that chess engine code and it requires a lot of effort to de-integrate. All make the reuse of the code for , modify and integrate with other chess engines become hard jobsprojects* Hard to understand and contribute to the project. ETGB itself is a hard topic. Syzygy EGTB has also integrated with many advance advanced 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* [[Endgame Tablebases#DTZ50|DTZ50]] metric may lead the engines to win in much longer and ugly ways, compared with [[Endgame Tablebases#DTM|DTM]] one
