What is in the download
- The program itself, with the computer opponent, the opening book, the lessons and the game review.
- The
Syzygy345folder: endgame tablebases for all positions with up to four pieces.
There is no installer and nothing is written outside the program's folder except your preferences (board, pieces, window position and lesson progress). To uninstall, delete the folder, or the app on a Mac.
Keep the files together. If the program warns that it is playing below strength, the neural network or the tablebase folder was not found beside it. Unzip the whole download into one folder and start The Baronet from there.
