James,

Yes, the new update corrects the EGTB accesss problem for all engines as far as
I can tell.  I tested four engines.

The gui8.iup file is dated as being created Jan 11, 2005 and is 8,906,610 bytes
in size. I suggest that you save it in another folder so it is available for the
next CB f--- up. As most know, the online upgrade will write over your existing
gui8.iup file if it is in ChessProgram8 folder without warning you they are
doing this.  Pure hubris on their part.

I wrote to info@chessbase.com about the problem yesterday and they replied as
follows many hours ago:

Dear Mr. Morgan

Thanks for your mail.

There will be a new upgrade for correct tablebase access this afternoon.
Please login to playchess.com and run the online upgrade again.


Yours sincerely,
Steffen Giehring
