Fritz 18 access to Syzygy endgame databases


Question: my new Fritz 18 simply does not access SYZYGY. I have entered the path under Options -> "Engines" as well as under "GUI". And with SyzygyPath="C:\pfadzusyzygy" in the UCI file I tried it too.


Answer: the easiest solution is to just use the tablebases from the USB stick.  Run the Setup.exe from the USB stick through, the installation routine enters the appropriate paths correctly in the program configuration
