Hello Robert, Neither can Junior 5.0 and Fritz 5.32 could not untill the patch came out last week. Crafty can not either without it's tabelbases - unless it's been fixed recently. It's amazing to me. Dedicated machines with very limited memory an slow processors were doing the Knight&Bishop mate many years ago. There is no excuse for not having it in todays programs. Jim Walker
