Go up one level in this thread



TheKing outside of its own GUI cannot use tablebases.  If the King
plays outside its own GUI then to make the engines comparable, no
tablebases.

Sedat, why not try Nunn2 games?  That way you eliminate effects
of opening book as a factor.

Kurt, do you use tablebases in games against the TheKing when it
is used outside its own GUI?  If so you give TheKing a handicap.
