To make it work, please modify your ChssBase.ini file in the Windows directory. There you can put semicolons in front of the items referring to your tablebase directory. Have a look at my ChssBase.ini example: ;[Tablebase] ;Path=f:\ChessBase\TableBases ;CacheSizeKB=4096 [Hiarcs 7.32] Path=e:\ChessBase\Hiarcs732 [Deep Junior] Path=e:\ChessBase\Deep Junior ..... If you need tablebase access again, you will have to delete the semicolons. Really a troublesome procedure, however, it worked for me. Greetings Frank
