If the absent of the tablebases was beneficial to fritz, then I don"t >see the reason of using it. Fritz did not lose games because of not using tablebases in the Israeli league. Fritz lost one game because of mate attack and tablebases could not help and it lost another game also not in the endgame. The importance of tablebases is limited at tournament time control. I guess that they do not give more than 40 elo that is eqvivalent to average of 1/2 point out of 10 games. Fritz played 10 games but I guess that in the case of Fritz they gave nothing (I guess that Fritz could not win one of the game that it drew but I am not sure about it). In the case of Fritz I saw a case in the ssdf games when it drew a won game(KRP vs KR) because of a tablebase bug. Uri
