I did not know that this was engine specific for some engines. I tried it with Crafy 19.06 and just like the rest when turning off the Tablebases, it shows an abbreviated list of forced moves and does not show the full list, but the Tablebases are still active. You are correct about Fritz 5.32. The Tablebases do shut off when selecting that in the engine window. Thanks Brian
