Ernst, I recently ran two position problem test suites in Fritz 7 and Fritz 8 GUIs, one for end game positions, and one for middlegame positions, and posted the results here. I ran the end games without tablebases. I had quite a problem making sure the tablebases were not being accessed, as just not checking the use tablebases box in the load engine dialogue, F3, did NOT prevent some engines from using the tablebases, including F7 and F8. The following was part of my test positions post: In order to make sure my EGTBs were not being accessed I had to take the following steps: 1. In the Load Engine window, make sure the use tablebases box is not checked. 2. In Tools –> Options–> Tablebases make sure the paths are blank, but remember to put the paths back in when you want to use the tablebases again. 3. If you have tablebases in the default directory, c:\My Documents\ChessBase\Tablebases change the name of the Tablebases directory - deleting the path in 2, above, is not enough. You’d think that just not checking the use tablebases box in the Load Engine dialogue would be enough, but it is not.
