I'll look as I don't really want crafty cursing anyone when it screws up. :) Found the code... that was part of the debugging for the "drawn ending tablebase swindle" code. You can ignore it... but here is the deal: *if* you download KRP vs KR, you must download *all* the KR*KR files. Or it will *not* play reasonably... my stock advice: download all the 3/4 piece files, or else download none. Download all the 5 piece files on my ftp machine or stick with the 4's... the 5 piece files I have are all needed fo rKRP vs KR endings...
