Make an empty coeffs.dat file, and then use the -f option to tell knightcap to read it. For example: xboard -fcp 'knightcap -n -A -X -f coeffs.dat' Unfortunately, I have not been able to make it move, be it in Xboard or non-Xboard mode. But at least it does not complain any longer for the missing file, so at least it is partial progress. José.
