You will have several choices.

The recommended choice is to buy an endgame CD from either:
* ChessAssistant
or
* ChessBase

Both will allow Tiger to use endgame tablebases. You will just need to install
the endgame CD, no further configuration step is required.

So if you have the Fritz Endgame Turbo, yes it will work with Tiger. If you have
already installed it, you have nothing to do, Tiger will use the endgames
tablebases (even if you are using Rebel-Tiger from Schröder BV or Tiger in
ChessAssistant 6.0 from Convekta).

Or you can also download "for free" the endgame tablebases files from the
Internet. Bob has them for download on its sever (don't remember the URL).
However in this case, be prepared to download times of several hours to several
days depending on your connection speed, so in the end the download is not free
at all (depends on your ISP fees).
