First of all, Hiarcs (or any other Chessbase product) does not use ANY 6-piece tablebases at this time. >(R+p vs. B+P)? At the present time, this can't be generated by ANYONE.

I think the generator might be included with Hiarcs. You can generate any 5-piece (Kxx vs. Kx) ending with it, provided you have enough RAM. The 5-piece endings with pawns require 512MB, and those without pawns can be built with 'only' 256MB (with some disk paging). Alternatively, you can download all 5-piece endings (and some 6-piece) from Bob Hyatt's FTP site. The generator is also there, if it's not included on the Hiarcs CD. Jeremiah
