That's why Fritz, probing tablebases, evaluates the position >as 0.00, while Tiger shows something close to +2. This is not the reason. My Fritz6light with no tablebases and my Junior5.9(no tablebases) see 0.00 because they have more knowledge. Crafty17.11 also evaluates the position as close to draw. I suggest you try old versions of crafty like crafty16.6 and I guess you will see that tablebases do not help to avoid the -2 evaluations. Uri
