1) what do you mean with tablebases? AFAIK Junior/Fritz etc. use Ken Thompsons
endgame CDs which are different than the Tablebases Crafty and MCP use.
2) the game must have been played manually, because Junior doesn't start without
these endgame files in the CD drive, or does it work to disable eg-cd access in
the engine setup for auto232play?
