It's ok now sir. Thanks!

Ok sir I will try it. Thank you!

Another question:

Everytime I close my gui (fritz 12) and open it again, my gaviotaTBpath in Houdini 1.5 will become empty so I will again input the TB path again.

But if I try with a test folder containing just the single kqkr file, Houdini does NOT use the EGTB (and doesn't produce any TB hits either).
If I then add the 35 files for all the 3 ...

I've already posted a screenshot of the engine analysing but it said it may take a while because it needs the approval of the admin.

By the way i'll try to explain it in words, the position i'm testing is: (W ...

If you're getting tablebase hits, it's working fine, no?[/quote]

As far as i know, tablebase hits only happens when the position is still not in the tablebase, but the position i was testing is already in the tablebase, namely k+q vs k+r and still i'm only getting tablebase ...
