However, there are a few problems with this, but they're manageable. Tablebases are part of the experience of nalimov's program that created the tablebases. If you include nalimov as one of the programmers of programs like Fritz,Hiarcs,Junior,Crafty and shredder then you can see nalimov tablebases as part of their experience. I think that not letting programs to use tablebases is unfair because some programmers assumed that they will have the right to use tablebases and they could do different program if they knew tablebases are not allowed. Most customers are interested in the level of programs in their strongest setting and not letting programs to do it is against most of the customers. Uri
