The "Endgame Turbo" garbage sold by Chessbase is such an incomplete collection. It would be better to add the most important 5-man or leave them completely out so that only the 4-man-TBs are used. This mixture has often enough proved to be sub-optimal, the quoted game of your match is another example for that. I wonder why you play this setup. The endgame turbo is not contained in any CB product, so if you use the TBs, it is really known to be correct to use them completely and no incomplete collections.
