[Scidvspc-users] Tablebase Support for Analysis Engines

[Sam C. <ss...@bu...>]

      Hello, I am trying to use tablebases in Scid vs. PC. The Nalimov
Tablebases work by setting options --> Tablebase directory, but I want the
engines to access the tablebases. I am using Houdini, and Critter. I have
downloaded the Gaviota tablebases and set
"GaviotaTbPath=/home/sam/Software/Tablebases/Gaviota" (no quotes) in the
"parameters" box in the configuration for the engines, but it doesn't work.
Am I on the right track? How can I (or can I?) use the tablebases?

     If it is relevant, I am using Ubuntu and have the tablebases
downloaded as 145 .cp4 files in the above directory. Thanks!

Sam
