Hi George,

to your question:
Different programs use egtbs in a different way. Try crafty and you will see
another set of numbers. For your position, Shredder seams to do more egtb tests
than Fritz. This may or may not help.
to a comment:
feel free to use the keys you want, feel even free to ignore those arrogant
experts. No need to get a heart attack.
Kind regards
Bernhard
