Without Tablebases, this endgame would not be solved so quickly. The only way this works for me, is to rename the Tablebase folder to whatever ( I just add an extra letter "S" at the end of "Tablebasess" like so, so it won't find the folder) (Unchecking "Use Tablebases" does not work for me with the Fritz 8 Program) I tested this with Ruffian 1.0.1., Crafty 19.06 find it in 29, Hiarcs 8 finds it in 30. What I find curious, is that Fritz 8 does not find the Mate in 29 or even find a mate at all. At least in any reasonable amount of time. I am still testing that while I am sending this post. I am using an AMD Athlon XP 2600+ 1 Gig DDR SDRAM. I have seen this happen a number of time with Fritz engines in various positions. Not counting some with Fritz 5.32, which 5.32 at times find very quickly. Not in this case, however. What is your opinion on Fritz 8 ?
