Accessing tablebases from CD is not what you would really want.
Copy them to harddisk and set the datapath accordingly. In case
that MChess accesses those tablebases during tree search, you will
have much less slowdown in endgames for having the tablebases.
Still there will be a slowdown ! The effect on the rating is there-
fore questionable. The only thing sure is, that it will change
for whatever reason. :-)
