I asked and they said the feature is not yet implemented.
Go figure :D
But they said very soon will be added via an update.

7-piece available in let's check, just not fully implemented. A winning position for white show up as "+1" and winning for black "-1".

Are you sure?
Try this:
[d] 8/2k5/3b4/7R/1P2n3/2P5/8/2K5 w - - 0 1

I get with "let's check":
Rh4 0.00
Rh3 0.00
Rh2 0.00

while white is winning with Kc2 or Kb2.

It is atleast something. Considering they've hanged on to Nalimov 6 since release of Let's Check.

Chessbase is upgrading to Syzygy.
