Hi,
have a look at your crafty.rc

egtb
tbpath=f:\tbs
cache=8M

did you include these commands?

Start in command mode and watch the output:


Initializing multiple threads.
System is SMP, not NUMA.
EPD Kit revision date: 1996.04.21

should have included

egtb

in crafty.rc

Code: Select all

mt=2

hashp=12M

In any case, something strange happened
in analyze mode in Arena 1.99b4. Both
crafties dont analyze.

Instead, I used demo mode:

That isn't a typo isn't it?
I mean the 'tabl(e)base' omitting an 'e'.

No. It is not a typo

Full set of 5-man tablebases is in the directory:
