"Hallo" Hannu, I try this under Shredder 5.0. But it is now easy for other commercial GUIs which have not all this great WinBoard options. The most have a simple WinBoard support. So I think it is not possible to play with TheKing under other commercial GUIs. The problem is here the "parameter" for the FirstInitString and SecondInitString. But I hope that more WB support is comming with time. I don`t know but I believe that TheKing dosen`t work under commercial GUIs. But it is not important for me because the most power have an engine under WinBoard. I hope Tim Mann add now a new options in WinBoard. Own Book = on / off And create own book from PGN This options for the WinBoard GUI, so user can play with all 102 WinBoard Engines with a standard book (interesting for tourneys). TheKing works under WinBoard with: 01. Move Now 02. Analyse Mode 03. Edit Mode 04. Adjust hashtables 05. Ponder works fine All works fine. Not ... 01. TableBases 02. Opening Book :-(( Important is to add under fd=firstInitString and sd=secondInitString in the WinBoard.ini All is legal for me, because user must have the CM8000 CD for playing with The King under WinBoard. The Chessmaster GUI is also great and one of the best chess GUIs. Here I must say that WB engines works also very good under Chessmaster and user have also a lot of possibilitys (good work from the Chessmaser team) but we have a lot of Winboarder which have fun on Winboard and so I think it is fantastic that now after Nimzo and Gandalf the third top program is playing under WinBoard (the right way).
