Hello Roy, I had thought Chessbits would do so but after a closer look to their Site I saw that they sell 'em on 10 CDs for 99 DM which should be around 45$. It appears that even they _dont_sell _all_ 3-5 EGTBS as this would require 11 CDs as mentioned before. As they had listed the whole content of the CDs at this page it is clear that they removed all 3+K vs. K EGTBS. http://mitglied.tripod.de/ChessBits/nalimov.htm Regards, Günther
