You shouldn't worry. Crafty and Hiarcs only use the "swindle mode" if they are already inside the TB, AFAIK. That is, if you have KRKNNP and Crafty/Hiarcs sees that taking one of the knights draws, then it will play that move. It will only enter the swindle mode if it gets a perfect score from the tablebase at the root. So analysis outside the TB's should return the correct value, not a swindled one. --- Shep
