Hi,

you can download TCB 0045 from my home page :
http://www-leibniz.imag.fr/~coulom/
New features are :
- Support for Eugene Nalimov's compressed EGTBs
- Minor speed improvement (2% on my machine)
Thanks go to Eugene for a nice piece of code. Read the docs for details
on how to use them. No good testing was done, so you should consider it
as an experimental feature. Problem reports are welcome.

Did you try using the tbs under the fritz gui?
According to my first trials it doesn´t but may be
I made a mistake?!
My cui entry looks concerning the tbs like this:
; Eugene Nalimov's EGTBs
; ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
chesslib
nalimov
;;; path to EGTBs. This can be a comma-separated list of directories.
;;; edit and uncomment the following line to enable EGTBs
init c:\chessbase\tablebases
;;; A large enough cache is necessary so that EGTBs work
;;; The cache size is given in bytes
;;; Uncomment the following line to allocate a cache for TBs
cache 800000
x

Thanks for any idea

I have the same problem. The Nalimovs work fine in WinBoard but not
under Fritz GUI.

Hi Sune and Christian,
I can not see a problem with TCBishop 0045 and the Nalimov TBs under Fritz.
A good example from the TCBxInit.cui you can find in my news ticker or in my config.zip file.
I use the for this example the nalimov 5-pieces for my little test under Fritz.
Kind regards
Frank

Thanks for you advice.
It works now with Fritz, too.
TCB does not like the commentary entries.
