Dearest friends... I have finally found the time to download Nalimov 3-4-5 egtb (Thank you Dene! for the link bud).

The files were downloaded to a folder C:\endgame


The engine portion of my poly.ini file currently looks like this:

[engine]

Hash=64
Max CPUs=2048
NalimovPath=
NalimovCache=16
NalimovUsage=
Preserve Analysis=False
Saves Hash File=<empty>
Persistent Hash Enabled=false
Persistent Hash File=<empty>
Persistent Hash Play Depth=64
Persistent Hash Size=16
Persistent Hash Merge File=<empty>
Ponder=True
Contempt Play=15
Contempt Analyze=0
Time Buffer =9

Do I need to do anything other than change NalimovPath= to NalimovPath=C:\engine

Your suggestions are greatly appreciated!!!

[matematiko]

I will set it as this:

[engine]

Hash=64
Max CPUs=2048
NalimovPath=C:\endgame
NalimovCache=16
NalimovUsage=1
Preserve Analysis=False
Saves Hash File=<empty>
Persistent Hash Enabled=false
Persistent Hash File=<empty>
Persistent Hash Play Depth=64
Persistent Hash Size=16
Persistent Hash Merge File=<empty>
Ponder=True
Contempt Play=15
Contempt Analyze=0
Time Buffer =9

Additionally, I sugest you check the integrity of your table bases, and to do so you can use
nalimov6manager, check this topic:

Thank you Mate!!! Have a great weekend buddy!

I scanned all .emd files with MD5...no files are corrupted ....

Question: A screen popped up after the test asking if I wanted to save the files in *.md5 format or *.txt format. I also have the option just to cancel out of the window.

As always, thanks to everyone for your help!!!

[matematiko]

Just cancel.

I recommended Malimov6manager instead of checking the checksum of one file at the time.......Oh well

Cheers,

[brush40]

Thx buddy ... Does Malimov6manager basically perform the same functions as MD5 or is it better in some ways?

[matematiko]

Performs the same, but in one single step. Additionally, if eventually you want to start downloading 6 man, it will compare against the "expected files" list, and tell you which EGTBs are complete and which ones are not.

In other words, that's the easiest way to go. I wish I knew about it before taking on the task of downloading and checking one at the time as I did (60 GB now, might go for another 40).

Cheers,

[brush40]

(Lol 60Gb... might go for 40 more) Anyway, yes the download was a pain but MD5 checked all 276 (give or take) very quickly. I just started the program and selected 'all files'.

The other options sound pretty cool

Thanks bud!!!!!!!!!!
