I am going to run a round robin tournament with a number of CM10 engines and a dozen or so other freeware engines, along with Fritz 8, Shredder8 and Hiarcs 9. I think, tho i am not sure, that when i installed fritz, shredder, and hiarcs, all three of them had their endgame tablebases installed also. The problem is i have not set up any endgame tablebases in chessbase for any of the freeware programs, including the CM10 engines. How is that going to affect my results. I want it to be a fair tournament. I dont want to hamper the 3 commercial programs by taking the tablebases away from them, because i think that will take away too much of their strength. On the other hand, i dont want them to have a terribly unfair advantage over the other programs that are not using endgame tablebases. Im not a programmer, and will never be able to figure out how to set up tablebases. I really want to keep it as simple as possible. So do i just let the ones that may have the endgame tablebases use them, and the ones that dont obviously wont. Will that be pretty much fair and accurate, or what do i need to do. thanks, george
