Bob, Thanks. On your site, ftp://ftp.cis.uab.edu/pub/hyatt/TB/, excluding six piece tables, would that be all folders except 42, 42p, and tbs? Do you agree with Norm’s comment, below, that a number of the files are not really needed, such as KQQQK, any 4 piece v 1 piece, and ones with KQQK, and that having too many EGTBs can slow things down? Seems reasonable to me. CB provided no documentation re omitting any of the required EGTBs, but obviously they have done so. My experience with getting an answer from CB to a question emailed to them has been dismal. I have confirmed that there are 230 up to five piece EGTB files on their 5 DVD “Endgame Turbo 2 Nalimov Tablebases.” They also have some six piece tables as well. Chris
