ah - the syntax is the same winboard and crafty use.
I don't know because i never play blitz...
maybe you ask some blitz guys...
i do almost ever play 60/60 or 40/120.

also: make sure the cui you have is compatible with the VERSION of
wbengine.exe from remis coulom. I lost ONE day to find out
that i am trying to fix a cui with a new wbengine version that is not supporting
the initcom command anymore. initcom is only working with
the old wbengine versions, for the new versions of wbengine you would
need a different cui-file.

now i have different versions for different programs ! i was unable
to manage to get cui files written for crafty and gandalf on the same
wbengine-version !!

its not that easy.

first it worked well with gandalf and an older version of wbengine.
then i tried crafty, used the similar batch and it did not work.
then remis told me to download latest version. i did it
and this "latest" version did not run with the initcom command anymore.
so i now really have a working cui for crafty with the new wbengine,
and a working cui for gandalf with the old wbengine.

log
special
command gandalf xboard nodebug
start

send level 40 120 0

win on

win232
comport 2
numgames 50
initcom
wait off

this above cui works perfectly well on my
machine together with the OLD wbengine file.
it has initcom as command into the cui, therefore you need the old
wbengine.

if somebody else knows better , i am open for anything :-)))

the gandalf files and the wbengine and the cui file are in ONE directory.

you don't need the winboard stuff in that directory.
for the syntax of the blitz games level ask somebody else.

its 3-0 for gambit tiger 40/120 !
