There was no way that Ubi Soft was going to give another gaming server business when they spent so much time/money on Ubi.com.

Why not use the same format as all other programs instead of causing >a user to have two sets (formats) of tablebases? At the very least, you will be able to generate any missing files that you want. We are looking into the possibility of having the files available for download as well. You can look at this message to see some details on why the de Koning format was chosen: www.talkchess.com/forums/1/message.html?228754 >I assume to use the King outside of CM the same methods as currently used will >still work.
