I dropped back to 1.07, but it still doesn't seem to be working. The log shows
that the tables were found in the beginning but when the board is cleared down
to five and under pieces, it still indicates it is searching to depth. The stats
say this: "endgame tablebase-> probes=0  hits=0". Also, moves are taking at
least a second. What should I be seeing in the log to verify EGTB is working?
