Hi Chris, I was able to load the engine with tablebase under scid, nice tip, thanks. It worked ok, but the engine keeps running, and that is something I don't want. Scid with tablebase is cool, just query it and shows the options (no heat, no speed up the fan, no battery issues or high processor usage). I use scid mainly for database search. I have a lot of books I read and typed the moves in scid since long time ago, and also some databases from the internet. Also, when I play some game, I save it in a database with all my own games (not a PGN, although scid can read PGN). That's my main usage, not analysis engine (I also use analyses engine with scid, but that is not the main usage, and I don't use crafty to do that). So, as a workaround, it will be ok. Now I have a doubt: why crafty can read tablebases and not scid? Isn't the source code the same, and so the policy applied by debian? Or I better be quiet, before some policies read this and disable crafty as well? Cheers, Beco -- Dr Beco A.I. researcher --> . <-- "Look again at that dot. That's here. That's home. That's us.
