Hi Kurt,

Write protection seems to work. That is good of course. A pity i did not know
this before, but this knowledge is another proof of the usefulness of the forum.
Remains the endgame difference, but that is minor in comparison. I hope CB can
optimize there tablebase access code in the future, because i will or may be the
first to check when Christophe T. comes out with an UCI or who knows CB version
later on. The CP version remains valuable, with it's great moves include/exclude
functionality.

Greetings,
Kaj
