I'm no expert using the WinBoard adapter, because it's not that interesting using WinBoard engines in the Fritz 6 light demo due to certain limitations. I did the following: 1) Copy the adapter to the engine folder and rename it to suit the name of the program you plan to use, ie. Amy 0-7.eng . 2) Make a directory called Amy 0-7. 3) Copy the Amy related files to that folder (.amyrc, Amy 0-7.exe and maybe a book if you don't want to use the Fritz books). 4) You also need a .init file. You can download the different .init at Frank Q: http://amateurschach.in-trier.de/schach/download/download-q.htm (Chess Base GUI's). 5) Unzip file and find Amy directory. Rename the Amy.init located there to Amy 0-7.init. 6) Start Fritz and the engine should be listed. 7) Repeat the procedure with every WinBoard engine :o). Tip: Remember to set no books in engine-engine matches, if you want the program to use its own book. I'm not sure if there's an easier way, but here is my suggestion. Feel free to ask further questions. Best wishes... Mogens
