However, there is a small error in the TB access code of Eugene Nalimov, which makes 4 vs 1 TBs nonfunctional, when they have the naming convention with only one dot. All other 3/4/5 men TBs will have no problems. It is possible, that this error makes the engine actually a bit stronger (4 vs 1 TBs are almost useless for engine strength, but they still use resources. They are useful in some positions, when you want to see a mate score, instead of say +10). >which can be used with > >Chessbase >Shredder classic >Lokasoft >chessmaster None with chessmaster. Both formats should work well with the other ones mentioned (besides the 4 vs. 1 problem mentioned). Regards, Dieter
