The reactions of the other engines (Tiger 12,13,14..)are not >better ... As for Tiger14/G-II tablebases problem Convekta placed additional patch for this, really a small file - Engines6.frm that causes the problem with tablebases. http://www.chessassistant.com/software/ca/ca60/Engines6.frm http://www.chessassistant.com/news/i30032001.htm The problem was with the last minute "obvious" correction that was not tested. Tiger 14 solves the position about 5 minutes on Celeron-366 processor. As for Shredder-5 we don't find problems with tablebases in it. As standalone Shredder-5 program, so Shredder in CA6 solved the problem in 30+ minutes. Both obviously used Tablebases. Could you check Shredder-5 with more simple positions first. Because non-optimal settings like low hash and cache size could dramatically slow down the engine at endgame.
