Subject: One More Important Tablebase Question-Please Help

Author: George Speight

Date: 18:55:08 11/03/05



I just got thru installing 3,4, and 5 man tablebases in chessbase. Before i
installed them, theprograms could not immediately show #24 or #16 or whatever,
when I set up a king and queen vs. king a rook. Now they can. And in my analysis
windows before i installed the tablebases it did not show TB= 588 or some
number. Now it does that also. Whcih tells me my tablebases are working. They
will show TB=a particular no. when i run Fruit 2.2.1 in such situation, but wont
when i run Fruit 2.2  Which is good, that is the way it should work. But the
problem i dont understand is any of the programs that can access the tablebases
will show TB= a no. in each analysis line. BUT THEY WIIL DO THAT  even when in
the engines list i uncheck the box that says "use tablebases"  I thought
unchecking that box would disable them, but if so why does the TB= 588 or
whatever show up even then. Am i disabling them when i uncheck the box. Confused
on this. Any help greatly appreciated.  Regards, George
