>>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 > >Wow ,you are right i just discovered that ,no 5-man tablebases ,i am very >disappointed. Each CD-Rom can only hold about 0.65 gigs. My c:\tb directory has 3/4/5-man tables and takes up 7.05 gigs, or about 10 CD-Roms worth. And it isn't that the Shredder authors were too lazy to zip the 5-man tables to squeeze them all onto the one CD-Rom. The table-base files are already very compact, zipping them buys about nothing in terms of space savings >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 ? Hopefully others can answer these, I dunno. But as for using anything but Nalimov tables, I switched to just Nalimov a while ago and I'm not going back. Just my 2 cents... Bruce > >Thanks, > >Pierre
