Please note that i only installed the >four man tablebases in my Hiarcs7.32! Hard to tell. In fact, there are some positions which actually take _longer_ to solve if you have the endgame tablebases installed. FIN 09 from LCT II is such an example. Hiarcs 7.0 took about 18 minutes on the P6-233 to find it. Thus one would assume that Hiarcs 7.32 would find it under 20 minutes on the same machine, right? But it didn't. I can only draw the conclusion that in this case tablebases were in fact stopping the program from finding the best move. But I think in general the benefit is bigger than the disadvantages. --- Shep
