Subject: EGTB more problems/questions

1. Shredder Classic does not detect some mutual zugszwangs (mzugs). Why ???
Ex : the famous (wtm = btm -228) W: Ka8/Re7/Bh8 B: Kc6/Nb5/Nc5
I did check my EGTB ; they are OK and Wilhelm will detect that mzugs.

2. Wilhelm overestimates the number of positions in mzugs due to not taking
properly into account the symetrical positions vs a1-h8 diagonal.
Ex : KR-KN Wilhelm will find 25 mzugs when the correct number is 18 ...
Is it a bug ??

3. (for Bob Hyatt) : Why are the files for KRN-KNN (that EG is famous for some
records) not on your FTP ?

4. FEG works great but is there a utility for converting those files into
Nalimov format ?

Thanks in advance.
