I think if you follow the next steps, you will understand the Fritz Winboard Adapter. 1) Create the Averno 0.31 Directory into the Fritz Engine Directory. 2) For example, rename this directory with "Averno031". 3) The Averno 0.31 should look like this one: \Engines\Averno031 4) Verify you have all the Averno 0.31 files in the \Averno031 Directory: Averno.libro Averno031.exe 5) Rename the Averno030_HT48.exe file with the same name of the Averno directory. Your \Averno031 Directory should look like this: Averno.libro Averno031.exe 6) Create the following .init file with the name "Averno031.init". This file is required for the Fritz Winboard Interface and it must have the same name that the \Averno031 Directory. The content of this file is: [Parameter] CommandLine = Engine = Averno0.31 Author = José Carlos Martínez Galán Debug = False [Support] AnalyzeMode = False PonderMode = False CastleAndEP = False 7) Ok, Your \Averno031 Directory must look this: Averno.libro Averno031.exe Averno031.init 8) Now, make a new copy of the Winboard Adapter File in the Fritz Engines Directory. 9) Rename this new copy as Averno031.eng. Realize that the name of the .eng file is the same one of the \Averno031 Directory. Now, you should be able to start up the Averno0.31 Engine on the Fritz Gui. Warning: It's important you unable all the Fritz Loaded Opening Books. Best Regards, Arturo.
