Hello all, Some time ago I wrote a chess program called Rabbit, and after a long period of inactivity I have started working on it again. At present it does not have tablebases, and I would like to add this capability to it. I know that Dr Nalimov's tablebases are available for download from Dr Hyatt's ftp site, but my main problem is not knowing how to access the data from them. I expect that source code for this will be in C, which is not the language I use for programming, so I really need either to understand the precise formula for looking up a position or else to obtain a compiled version of the access code that my program could call. My target platform is Windows on a P3/450, so a DLL would be perfect for this. I wonder if such a DLL exists, and if so where can I find it? Alternatively, is there public information about the position --> address mapping of sufficient detail to allow me to program the lookups myself? Any help would be most welcome. Best wishes, Roberto
