It is something that the programmer has control over. A lot of customers use part of the tablebases so programs should know to play only with part of them. If they do not know then it is the programmer's fault. I agree with jouni uski here. I did not implement tablebases in movei but when I decide to do it I am going to do it in a correct way. Uri
