KQRvKR is not on the CD , probably because it require 233 MByte.
They had to do choice to provide the more usefull tablebase.
So, if you want to analyse a KRPvKR endgame no problem but if you want to play
this endgame you must to generate KQRvKR , the tablebase generator (tbgen.exe)
is on the Hiarcs CD.

End of the story :)

See you soon ...
