Crafty can use tablebases in a better way if it is not an engine for Fritz

Fritz,Nimzo and Junior can use tablebases only at the root and crafty can use
tablebases not only at the root.

You should also change  the engine parameters of crafty to computer opponent(the
default is human opponent).


I also do not like the fact that  Junior5 uses the same tablebases as Fritz5
because I cannot use the tablebase if I have only Junior5 without Fritz5.

In other words the tablebases are not part of the Junior5 program.

The program should be called Junior5(Fritz5 tablebases).

I do not think that the tablebases of Junior5 change more than 5 elo in the
rating of Junior5(It has a good chance to find the right moves without
tablebases) and I do not understand why chessbase does this unfair thing of not
selling it as a part of Junior and using it in games for rating.
