Wow ,you are right i just discovered that ,no 5-man tablebases ,i am very
disappointed.Now ,can i use my Fritz 5.32 CD who has some 5-man tablebases
instead with Shredder 6 even if they are by Thompson and not by Nalimov ?
Also how to get the board sound on when watching a game between two engines like
with old Chessbase GUI ?

Thanks,

Pierre
