i have downloaded tablebases into the following folder; C:\Nalimov
i have referrd to he following website for guidance
http://www.chesskit.com/aarontay/Winboard/egtb.html#[A.11]

I have located the following file in my computer:-
C:\Windows\ChssBase

This is all it says:-

[Chess Tiger]
Path=C:\Program Files\ChessBase\Tiger\

On Aaron tay's website he hss mentioned the following:-
"First, copy all your tablebase files into one directory, say C:\Nalimov
Next locate the file chssbase.ini [Not Chessbase.ini!] . It is usually in your
Windows directory. Part of the file is something like this

[Tablebase]
Path=C:\Nalimov
CacheSizeKB=1024

Just edit the path to point to the directory where your endgame tablebase files
are currently located and remember to save.This should work for all Chessbase
engines including Junior,Nimzo,Hiracs and the new Chessbase engines Shredder and
Tiger."

what is the exact wording, including any punctuation marks, that i should add to
[Chess Tiger]
Path=C:\Program Files\ChessBase\Tiger\
 in order for the path to be correctly set.

thanks
