Naum and tablebases?

[Günther Simon]

Geschrieben von:/Posted by: Günther Simon at 28 September 2004 11:25:51:

Last night I started some test games between SpiderChess
and Naum 1.2 and noticed in the first game that Naum did
not use the R+P vs. R endgame which is included in my
tablebase folder for tournaments.
I saw that I had set the path like C:\XYZ\XYZ\XYZ,
after I had realized that problem I changed it to:
C:/XYZ/XYZ/XYZ and saw at least that it used tablebases
in a later game with K,B,N vs. K.
Anyway I will test it more precisely today after work
again with setting up tbs positions.
Is there a known issue with using '\' instead of '/'
for Naum, or doesn't it like subsets of tablebases?
(my tournament tbs folder contains all 4men + some 5 men)

I did some quick tests with Naum and in fact it seems in cannot use
5men at all!! Even when I set up my full 5men path it does not access
them (it says it finds them though in the debug, also the subset...).
No problems with 4men here.
Could someone else please verify this too?
