Of course, I could use any of my Chessbase engines in order to analyze 5 men endgame. Put this way, what if I set up a position with 7 men endgame, and it gets to a point in which a trade of pieces is possible to reduce to a 5 men endgame, because Chess Patner only displays the principal PV, unlike Chessbase GUI which gives all other alternatives, I like to try different moves in the analyzis mode and see what PV score GT or CT would give. And if the endgame gets reduced to a 5 men endgame, I won't be able to see the evaluation because of this bug. That means that I would have to use a Chessbase engine to analyze the position, which means closing CT or GT and open another program. Then what would be point of using GT or CT to analyze endgame positions if I need to open another chess program to do a follow up. Grrr.... Regards, Laurence
