In the tablebase containing King and Rook vs. Just so you have an idea of how this works, let's describe a simple example. So the engine consults the tablebases and sees instantly the proper technique for winning that endgame. That's something that the average club player might know at a glance from the position, but would necessitate a thirty-ply search by a chess engine even with the fastest home processors, that's just not going to happen in many endgames with five or six pieces on the board.

But I'm a moderator at The Chess Exchange and I read a couple of other message boards, mostly those aimed at general players/users, not programmers.

Not all of them, mind you - I already have a fulltime job and a couple of side gigs, so my time is limited.
