But even Hiarcs 7.32 comes with some tablebases but not all. So you must make sure the tablebases are on the CD ROM. If the ones your mention are on the CD ROM then I don't know why they don't work. If they are not on the CD ROM(That would be really stupid) then I guess you will have to find them somewhere else and load them on your hard disk so Nimzo 7.32 can find them. There are over 6 gigabytes of tablebases for 3/4/5 men so I'm sure they are not all on the CD ROM but you would think if Nimzo 7.32 cannot do a simple KRK mate then surely it would be on the CD ROM!
