But from my reading, it seems that Thompson tablebases are significantly inferior to the more popular Nalimov tablebases... Which is probably the reason why you can find Nalimov tablebases but not Thompson tablebases. Too bad that CG7 can't use the Nalimov files.

I know Chess Genius is considered outdated by many but I believe it is still one of the best programs one can use. I love the interface and the way it plays. Thanks once again.
