And is that really the answer to the KR v K >failure? Definitely yes. After the Installation there should be a directory 'NzEndGam' as subdirectory of your chessbase engines directory (e.g. c:\program files\chessbase\engines\nzendgam). This directory provides all 3-4 pieces endgame tablebases in the Nimzo format. Additionally, you have to install (i do not know if you can prevent it) the Nalimov endgame tablebases in any directory of your choice. Make sure that the full path of this directory has been registered in the appropriate section (I do not know the section header name right now) of your chssbase.ini (no missprint!) file in your windows directory. If not, please add it. >If this is fixable by re-installing I will gladly do it >as I like Nimzo's play very much otherwise. > >eric Hope this works! Greetings Alex
