Then click on to the infinite analysis button Which is the Magnifying Glass ICON or press the Alt+F2 keys. Once you do this, you will see a long list of mating or drawing moves or both in your engine window pane. This I am showing below as an example. If you do not have the particular endgame in your tablebase folder, you will only have evaluations showing in your engine window pane. Analysis by Fritz 7: 1. +- (#3): 1.La6 2. +- (#3): 1.Te6 3. +- (#3): 1.Tf6 4. +- (#3): 1.Tg6 5. +- (#3): 1.Th6 6. +- (#10): 1.Td6 7. = (0.00): 1.La4 8. = (0.00): 1.Lc4 9. = (0.00): 1.Ld3 10. = (0.00): 1.Le2 11. = (0.00): 1.Lf1 12. = (0.00): 1.Kc5 13. = (0.00): 1.Tc5 14. = (0.00): 1.Tc4 15. = (0.00): 1.Tc3 16. = (0.00): 1.Tc2 17. = (0.00): 1.Tc1 18. = (0.00): 1.Tc7 19. = (0.00): 1.Tc8+ (Brian, MyTown 02.01.2004) I don't have any answers involving the 6 man Tablebases.
