Hello KarinsDad,

The commercial Hiarcs 7.32 is a 32bit Windows version that does support
tablebases, and I believe the 4 piece endgame tablebases are on the CD - not
sure about the 5 piece endgame tablebases. However, are you certain the Hiarcs
7.32 at the tournament is not the commercially available 7.32?
