I agree with @vondele. The test was meant to demonstrate that we might drop all the endgame stuff and bundle Stockfish with the most basic EGTB files instead. This would...
@ppigazzini Awesome!
@ppigazzini Thank you very much! A small elo loss was to be expected, of course! I tried to keep the size of the egtbs folder really small for the first...

@ppigazzini endgames.epd gives a much more sensitive result! Is there some info about what books are available to choose from?

@vondele Going one step further and stripping off scale factor downscaling, too, reveals a big elo loss. See https://tests.stockfishchess.org/tests/view/5e64d119e42a5c3b3ca2e2af However, in a quick local test, 5-man syzygy bases almost equalized...
Maybe related, I no longer see if my test has been approved or not. Is this intentional?
@pmcastro How are you able to run with concurrency=7? Even with only concurrency set to 2, I often get close to 100% CPU usage on my 8-core AMD system.
@thomasahle I don't think so. Stockfish is set to use 1 thread only by default.
