Subject: Are there 3 and 4 piece Ken Thompson tables?

Hi - I got the 5-piece Ken Thompson endgame tables working fine with the
Lokasoft engine in Chess Partner 4.3

But when I tried 3-piece things like BNK_K, the engine clearly stopped hitting
the 5-piece endgame tables.

I had thought that the 5-piece Ken Thompson tables also covered 3 and 4 piece
positions, but apparently not.  I tried the same thing in Shredder4, and got the
same no-joy result.

Of course Shredder 4 also supports the Nalimov tables (I turned them off to test
3-piece endings with Ken Thompson tables).

But, Lokasoft in CP4.3 doesn't support Nalimov tables.

Is there somewhere where I can down-load 3 and 4 piece Ken Thompson tables?

Any help much appreciated...

thanks, Bruce
