Nice program, it even comes _with some tablebases_! Here's the first game I played against Techno, 5 minute game, it won on time but it was up by a Bishop & some pawns so Techno was going to crush me anyhow:
[Event "Computer chess game"]
[Site "DEFAULT"]
[Date "1999.12.06"]
[Round "-"]
[White "Pete Galati"]
[Black "Techno_14x"]
[Result "0-1"]
[TimeControl "60/180"]
1. d4 d5 2. c4 e6 3. Nc3 Nf6 4. e3 Bb4 5. Bd2 O-O 6. Nf3 Nc6 7. c5 Bxc3 8.
Bxc3 Ne4 9. Bd3 Nxc3 10. bxc3 Qe7 11. O-O e5 12. Qa4 e4 13. Ne5 Nxe5 14.
dxe5 exd3 15. Qd4 c6 16. Rfd1 Bf5 17. f3 Rfe8 18. e4 dxe4 19. fxe4 Rad8 20.
Qe3 Qxe5 21. Rxd3 Rxd3 22. Qxd3 Qxc5+ 23. Kh1 Bxe4 24. Qd7 Kf8
0-1
You can probably set the tablebase path info through the Dos prompt by pasting the appropriate information in and hitting enter, then use the command "set" to confirm that it worked.
Techno didn't need tablebases to win that game though.
