Viktor,

Just like Bernd, I have to thank you for the support you offer to users! Anyway,
I have set up the tablebases quite easily, but look at the following position
and tell me if your Tiger 14 gets it right:

kB6/2K5/8/8/b3N3/8/8/8 w - -

The winning move is, naturally, Nd6!, with a quick mate, but Tiger 14, using its
tablebases (!) comes up with Ng3??? (depth 98), evaluating the position as 0.00
(draw).  What went wrong.  The position is from Convekta's great prog, Studies
2.0 #160, I think.

Best regards,

*** Djordje
