Does anyone know how to get hold of Lyudmil Antonov?

Regarding asmfish:
The path separator of ; does not work for tablebase directories.
If you have a path with a semicolon in it, the engine simply halts.

My tablebase files are configured like this:
c:\chess\syzygy;J:\Syzygy;G:\Syzygy;

Try to remove the last ;.

Yes that solves it.
But CFish, Stockfish and the other Syzygy engines I use do not need this alteration.

Thanks.
Your suggestion was very helpful.

Why do you need the syzygy tablebases to be in 3 different folders?

Why do you need the syzygy tablebases to be in 3 different folders?

Folder 1:
root c drive ssd only 250 GB, holds OS and other important stuff.
Only 3-4-5 files on that.
The six man files are on USB-3 thumb drives of 64 GB which won't quite hold it all on a single thumb drive.

At home, I have a 1 TB SSD and everything works fine there.

Ok, thanks.
