Hi Tord
Have you ever noticed that Gothmog 1.0 beta10
does not access the EGTB if the program and the
endgame tablebases are not in the same main directory.
We had this example yesterday and thought it would be
a specific problem on one of our Athlons. The paths
were the following:
c:\programme\arena\engines\gothmogh\gothmog.exe
e:\tbs
And with this configuration and a correct ini-file the
EGTB did not word. After installing the EGTB to c:\tbs
and changing the ini-file all works fine. BTW in the
following endgame position
8/8/K6p/6p1/8/8/k5PP/8 w - - 0 1
Gothmog 1.0 beta10 with EGTB activated is the only engine
with EGTB-support we know that can't find the solution
and winning move 1.g4!! Maybe you will have a look at this.
Kind regards
Kurt
