The biggest 5-piece-tablebase is K+R+P vs. K+Q which is 126 Mb large (plus 103Mb to be able to play with both sides). There is one problem you will have: After a promotion of a pawn there will be a new ending so your program needs another CD to go on with playing the ending correctly. As the program is not able to find this new file it will play mistakes because it will never promote because it will not have the information "distance to mate" for the new ending. I would suggest you to invest in a bigger HD or just use the 3+4-men-Tablebases (all together about 40Mb) which fit easily on a single CD or even on a very small HD. Peter
