I don't understand exactly what you mean, Sarah. Mentioned KPK.tbb, KPK.tbs and
KPK.tbw must be a tablebase for ChessTiger, because if I remove it, ChessTiger
can't handle simple opposition with king against king, pawn. It can when I have
them left. It also has a couple of similar files that has the same
fileendingsnames. For example KRK.* and KQK.*. If that isn't tablebases, what is
it then?
