If so you give TheKing a handicap. Yes, we use tablebases when playing with TheKing outside its own GUI. And it's true: out of 30 games, there are about 2-3 games that would bring other (better) results for TheKing and it is indeed somewhat a handicap for TheKing. On the other hand I think that Fritz & Co. are not to blame for having implemented this feature, it's a pity that TheKing cannot use tablebase in its thinking process. I made the experience that people accept using the same opening book (remis.ctg) but there is less acceptance for not using tablebases. In principle I have the same opion like Sedat but we do not want to hear from people all over the world that our games are not much worse because of missing tablebases.
