Hi Pierre - you can point to the cd dir or copy it to your hard drive until
you're blue in the face and it will do no good, because the position you
describe is a 5-man position, and on the CD you only get 3 and 4-man tablebases

See ftp://ftp.cis.uab.edu/pub/hyatt/TB/ the subdir called "five" for the tables
you need.  You can download all of them if you have the time to wait and the
disk space (I did) or be selective and just pull the ones you want (but since
there's a P in the position maybe you should get all the tables into which the
position might promote? I dunno, I just got all the 5-man tables at once)

HTH, Bruce
