Thompsons format cannot handle any class with more than one pawn, so you aren't gonna get it that way. If you want it in tablebase format you can of course create it yourself. To build KPPKR you will need, in terms of disk space: - KQPKR (1 gig), KQQKR, KQRKR, KQBKR, and KQNKR (320 meg each) - KRPKR (1 gig), KRRKR, KRBKR, and KRNKR (320 meg each) - KBPKR (1 gig), KBBKR, and KBNKR (320 meg each) - KNPKR (1 gig), and KNNKR (320 meg) - 1 gig to hold the final KPPKR - 2 gig temp space to create it That's a total of roughly 10 gigabytes, and some weeks (more like a few months) of calculation time. I won't be giving it a try anywhen soon. If you want, you can get prebuilt versions of KRPKR, KQRKR, KRRKR, KRBKR, and KRNKR, at Bob Hyatt's site.
