The tablebases will tell you exactly how to play out any position once five or less pieces are left on the board, therefore they may turn out very instructive while analyzing endgames with a smaller number of pieces. The program knows whether the position is won, lost, or drawn, and how many moves it will take to win or draw, assuming best play by both sides. You can use the tablebases while viewing games, analyzing, or playing against a computer. Provided with the tablebases, playing programs are infallible in the late endgame, because they begin to use variations and evaluations from the tablebases as soon as a position available arises on the board. Thus the program's playing strength increases greatly.
