I'm seeing another problem using the 4 man tb's. When I set up this position: 7k/7p/8/8/8/8/5KP1/8 w - - 0 1 and start the search, the result is "draw," the move is g3. As soon as the move gxh5 is made, the score is "mate in 25." At this point the white king abandons the pawn and goes for a stroll, but the score still reflects a mate. The black king doesn't capture, even though he could. The pawn promotes and the black king is eventually mated. I'm validating the tablebases now, but I think something strange must be happening in my search. Frustrating. :-\ Anybody else seen something like this ? BTW - it's not the null move. I disabled them and the results were the same. -- James
