       I don't know if this is helpful, but I have a primitive EGT
       generator that can do 3- and 4-men EGT on arbitrary boards,
       which I use to determine which fairy pieces have mating
       potential. It prints the DTM statistics of the end-game. I let
       it run on some of the Musketeer KXK end-games:

       Hey H.G., nice to chat with you again!
       Here's my list with summary information. Maybe we can compare
       each database entry and verify each others' data? This will be
       very helpful. I can give you access to my tablebases and the
       indexing function, then you can literally compare entry per
       entry and make sure we both have the same result.
       For Cannon I have a mate in 15, which differs from your data.
       Our Hawk data both showcase mates in 28, so that's good.
       Our elephant data both showcase mates in 13, so that's good too.
