Hi , why not waste a little time when it could be helpful for some other lady/guy .... 1.) I better add first that this is bullshit and crafty won't need TBs to win with rook and king against king . 2.) though I am absolutely no crafty fan crafty is without a doubt one of the stronger programs in the endgame ... 3.) tablebases are great though , agreed . 4.) For those who have to pay for their online time and have limited space on their harddrive try this one : ftp://38.168.214.175/pub/nalimov.ZIP . Those are the 3 and 4 men one and they are compressed nicely : 28,5 MB . I don't remember exactly to how much they expand but it isn't too bad .
