Most people don't have a big enough or fast enough computer to generate all of
the 3-4-5 tablebases. And in most cases I suspect you're talking about weeks of
runtime, not days. So the only practical way is to download them or buy them on
CDs. But I'm unfamiliar with the CM tablebases which are not the same as
Nalimov, so I guess that could be different (but I doubt it).
