You only have to specify the tablebase directory. Then you can open up the endgame tablebase window which will look like this: http://home.datacomm.ch/aguettinger/pics/scid1.jpg With the board icon you can then access the board position (rights side). Or, on the left side, you can see statistics or play some training with various tablebase endgame positions. I don't know if scid supports 6-man tablebases (because I don't have any). regards Andy
