The problem of running The King in the Fritz GUI (and in other Auto232 capable GUIs, like Shredder classic and Arena) has been solved since ages! So, using the King engine and Auto232 is possible. I'm sure SSDF ist aware of this. The Wb2Uci topic is well known; lots of people use it constantly. So, the original book is the only problem, but for that I think a good "neutral" CTG book could be created from IM/GM games, to be used in these test runs. A little compromise - much better that not to test it at all... http://www.talkchess.com/forums/1/message.html?322394 (about recommandable settings etc., as the defaults would be nonsens to test) Blown in the wind. :-) Regards, M.Scheidl
