Subject: My apologies to Nimzo 7.32

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.
