The only difference in choosing the set of endings placed on CD. Convekta (www.chessassistant.com) also supplies 9 CD set. That is very reasonable compromise between 4 and 12. It is not evident that largest set is better for all cases and for all engines. The larger set - the longer tablebases loading time. It could be 5-20 seconds. And the same with memory using. (HDD space is not so big problem for modern systems.) And my opinion that for engines like Shredder5 and Tiger14 4 CD set is optimal choice. Victor
