Please note: I don't know what files you have or which version of Crafty you have. If you have the wb2uci files in a directory, along with the wcrafty files, then your wb2uci.eng file should look something like this: ;---------------------------------------------------------------- ; Crafty 19.10 ; Extensions must be 0 or between 10 and 99 [ENGINE] Name=Crafty 19.10 (wb) Author=Robert Hyatt Filename=Wb2Uci.exe [OPTIONS] Program=wcrafty-19.10.exe InitString=resign 0 HashCommand=hash %iM WhiteScore=true OwnBook=true ;ShowThinkingMove=true ;Logfile=true Visible=Ponder,Hash,OwnBook,Extras,Logfile,ShowThinkingMove,Computer [EXTRAS] Drawscore=draw|spin|0|-100|100 Tournament mode=mode|check|false|normal|tournament Crafty log=log|check|true|off|on Learning=learn|spin|7|0|7 NalimovPath=tbpath|string|./TB NalimovCache=cache %iM|spin|1|1|32 Swindle mode=swindle|check|false|off|on King safety=evaluation kscale|spin|100|0|200 King safety asymmetry=evaluation asymmetry|spin|-40|-100|100 king safety tropism=evaluation bscale|spin|100|0|200 Blocked pawn=evaluation bscale|spin|100|0|200 Pawn structure=evaluation pscale|spin|100|0|200 Passed pawn=evaluation ppscale|spin|100|0|200 In check extension=extensions check 0.%i|spin|99|0|99 One reply extension=extensions onerep 0.%i|spin|75|0|99 Push passed pawn extension=extensions pushpp 0.%i|spin|75|0|99 Recapture extension=extension recapture 0.%i|spin|75|0|99 Mate threat extension=extension mate 0.%i|spin|75|0|99 Pawn hash (MB)=hashp|spin|1|1|16 Use book=book|check|true|off|on ; You could also make some predefined styles and select them with ;Style=input|combo|strong|strong|aggressive|patzer|etc... ;---------------------------------------------------------------- If your wb2uci.eng file already refers to the version of crafty you have then I would leave well alone for now. To create the uci engine do the following: Menu > Engines > Create UCI engine Browse to the directory where you have the files and make sure you select WB2UCI.exe (ie. not wcrafty.exe). If this works, you should now be able to load crafty.
