What time control are you playing? I only manage four 60 min games against cb flagship fritz32 and 16.4T got +2 -2 =0. The four men tablebases look ok on my computer - I test with position KQ - KR and 16.4T immediately displays mate value. You have to put the tablebase directory in engines.ini ([tablebases] path=) Alois On February 04, 1999 at 23:05:04, James T.
