When I use my Shredder 7.04 the heavy hard drive activity appears to indicate it is accessing EGTBs tablebases when there are six pieces left on the board. I have assumed all along that this indicates that Shredder 7.04 is using a few of my 6 piece EGTBs or is at least looking for them. Shredder Classic GUI also states "6 piece EGTBs found" when changing hash table size for them. Hopefully one of our experts on this can either confirm or refute this. If this is in fact true then I see no reason why S 8 would not do the same. DHM
