Well done! Well, either way, as has been posted here before, The King does not use the EGDBs deep in the search, nor does the Mentor Lines window use them. If you have a complete set of EGDBs, and the position is down to five pieces or less, you can get the results from the EGDBs by either opening the "Coach" window, or just letting the Chessmaster personality (or any personality that has been given access to the EGDBs) play the game out to the end. jm
