I'm afraid I created a bit of a stir about Nimzo 7.32's inability to handle basic endgames. As it turns out Nimzo carries all that stuff in its tablebases which I did not have properly loaded and generated. Being a little dense about that sort of thing and being provided with instructions in Readme that are fairly incomplete, it took me a couple days to figure out how to get the tablebases generated and working. Once I finally got that done, I found that Nimzo handles those endings instantly. For example, when I place the White K on e1 and the Black King on e8, Black N on g8 and Black B on c8, then move the White K to e2...Nimzo responds instantly with a move and an announcement of Mate in 28 moves. Sorry about the earlier misleading posts...but I never get anything accomplished on a computer until I first make a big idiot out of myself. eric
