I am looking for a place to download the 3-4-5 men tablebases that will work with my Fritz 12 Software. Can anyone point me to link?

You can download the tables from this ftp site:

ftp://ftp.cis.uab.edu/pub/hyatt/TB

However I don't know how to get them to work with fritz 12.

Took a while to download them all but I got it to work with the Fritz 12 Engine, but it doesn't work with Houdini. Anyone have an idea?

Hyatt's site offers the Nalimov tablebases. Houdini 2 supports both Nalimov and Gaviota tablebases, but Houdini 1.5 only supports Gaviota tablebases. Could that be your problem?

Gaviota tablebases can be found here -

I don't know if you can use Gaviota tablebases through the Fritz interface.

Yes, that does seem to be my problem. I have Houdini 1.5 and the Nalimov tablebases. I will have to look into whether the interface will allow me to use the Gaviota tablebases.

Thanks for the Link.
