I dont think its been fixed with the 9.0.0.2 Junior engine and GUI update either. This is unfortunately very typical ... here is the letter ..I got no response. If you restore an older version of TBAccess.dll you should be ok. Barry " Hello ChessBase I just installed Deep Junior 9 , which contains a new GUI (Chessprogram8 11/16/04). For me a long outstanding bug with importing games into an opening book has been solved ! However there appears to be some new problems. The one that I noticed is that endgame tablebase access has changed . Deep Fritz 8 no longer accesses any EGTB's . Deep Junior 9 only accesses 3-4-5 EGTB's (no 6-man). The key here appears to be in module TBAccess.dll . If I restore this dll from prior to DJ9 install , then both DJ9 and DF8 can access EGTB's, including 6-man. I also noticed that when you pull up the database window (F12) and try to change the font, that any new font setting that you choose is not saved. I am pretty sure that this did not happen in the old pre DJ9 GUI. I know of at least one other person who also observed these problems. "
