Or is it better to download them? I wouldn't advice you to try to construct them . I think you will need at least 512 MB RAM . Downloading them is a better idea if you don't have to pay too much for your online time . If you want to use them for crafty you can save much space btw as you don't need all subpromotions and can only download the 5 piece tables you are interested in most . Most other programs can't deal with missing tablebases well yet . In fact I personally think all 4 men tablebases + KRPKR including subpromotions and maybe KQPKQ is enough . The others eat much diskspace without much gain . cheers. pete > I've only ever previously constructed the 4 piece tablebases using the CD. > >Thanks in advance for any advice > >Gordon
