Syzygy 6 man Tablebase Files Question Is anyone familiar with the .wdl and .dtz formats for the 6 man tablebase that are available?  

I already confirmed that both aren't needed, however they both store different information. Goal is to determine which one would fit what I want to do.

-I know there are other forums out there for this.  I'm a new member on one of them but trying to see if anyone here is familiar with this is all.
WDL gives win/draw/loss for a position
DTZ gives distance to zero for the 50-moves draw rule


Both files are needed, absolutely. Chess engines assume both files are there, and would only check one of those at run time. It's your responsibility to make sure you have both files. There's a good opportunity your engine will crash if you don't.

You're giving yourself trouble if you leave out one. Download them both or do nothing.
