You need both. 'p' stands for the TB files where one side has at least a pawn.
21 are 3 men TB without pawns (i.e. KQ vs K) and 21p are the ones with pawns
(i.e Kp vs K).

The numbers represent the pieces every side has. i.e 41 means one side hast 4
pieces and the other only one (king), whereas 32p means one side has 3 pieces
and the other side 2, and at least one pawn is involved. Both are 5 men though.

If you want 3-5 men then download all the files exept the 6 men which are in the
folders 33, 33p, 42, 42p.
