WARNING
----------

Syzygy 6-men endgames require significant system resources to run. It is recommended only a single 6-men endgame is installed (e.g. rook endgame). The SmallFish app might crash if you have too many 6-pieces installed (not enough memory). Your device should be iPhone 6/iPad 3 or newer, with at least 2GB RAM.

Syzygy on the iOS is still a new technology, we are trying to improve it in the coming releases.
