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

 [Tablebase]
 Path=C:\Nalimov
 CacheSizeKB=4096


  The above should be correct for you in your ChssBase.ini, provided you
  have all the 3-4 tablebases and some 5-men. If you have the complete
  3-4-5 set you can change the CachSizeKB to 8192.
