The reason I am desperate for those 35 5-1 pawnless positions is I have been studying the egtb stats for some time and need them to complete my work. With chessmaster I think that is not going to produce DTM like Eugenes which is what I need. Eugenes provides you with the following data: wtm lose wtm draw wtm mate wtm broken btm lose btm draw btm mate btm broken If you should know of any other source for this info please let me know about it. Thanks, Les >If you are really desparate for those 5-1 endings (and like Eugene I don't see >the point of generating them) you can use Johan de Koning's FEG program >(available on www.chessmaster.com) to do it.
