Take a look at this page: http://www.uciengines.de/WB-Engines/wb-engines.html It has instructions and example Wb22Uci configurations for many engines, including Crafty. I just see it provides many crafty engine setting options in the GUI, which will make that even easier than to have to edit the crafty.rc file. Basically you'll just have to put the correct files in the correct directory. Add your Crafty exe to the download from the site above. Then, you should be able to install and run WB.-Crafty in Fritz (you have to click at CraftyUCI.exe, not at crafty19...exe, in Fritz' install UCI engine dialogue). One thing you'll have to edit though before, is: In the textfile Wb2uic.eng included in that download, change the exe name Crafty-1908.exe to the name of the Crafty exe you are using, so that the adapter software can find and use the engine. Also, the name should be changed of course, in the 2nd line (Name=...). I think this is quite easy; just make sure you save in Ascii text format if you do this in Word. (I don't use WB.-Crafty in Fritz but in WB.-capable GUIs, so I have no experience myself with that, but I've succuessfully used Wb2Uci with a few other engines. It's easier as at seems when good config files are provided.) If you want a "mediocre" Crafty book (warning: it's probably far from perfect in an enginematch performance sense): http://members.surfeu.at/mscheidl/Craftybuch.zip (611 KB zipped) Regards, Mike Scheidl (one of the many Mikes)
