Some of the original CM EGTBs have a bug though. On the Chessmaster 9000 website, there's a new version of the EGTB generator program for download. Unfortunately, nobody seems to know exactly which of the tables were affected by the bug (some including knights were mentioned). I suggest to generate at least the 4-piece tables new, with the new generator (which doesn't take much time). Then you have to decide which 5-piece tables to use and if you copy them from the CD, or generate them too with the fixed generator... but that will take much more time I guess. (As a compromise, I copied all R?-R from the CD in addition to the newly generated 4-piece CM tables. I still have no info if RN-R or another rook-ending was affected by the bug). Btw. the readme which comes with the generator has useful information about the CM EGTB files, what the filenames mean, etc. Regards, M.Scheidl
