Below an instruction from Frank Quisinsky how to run TheKing 3.12 under CB-GUI:
WinBoard TheKing adapter by Add Gunnar Marlin:
----------------------------------------------
Only a little readme
(hope this text is enough).
For the download example ...
TheKing 3.12 under Chess-Base Fritz 6 GUI:
Copy the TheKing.exe in the CM-theking directory and rename
the engine in tk.exe
(you can used also other names for the directory and engine).
Example:
f:\CBase\Engines\CM-theking (name for directory)
f:\CBase\Engines\CM-theking.eng (Chess-Base "WinBoard-Adapter").
f:\CBase\Engines\CM-theking\tk.exe (chess program TheKing).
f:\CBase\Engines\CM-theking\cm-theking.bmp (logo for TheKing).
f:\CBase\Engines\CM-theking\cm-theking.init (config file for the WB adapter).
f:\CBase\Engines\CM-theking\cm-theking.exe (adapter by Odd Gunnar Malin).
f:\CBase\Engines\CM-theking\InBetween.ini (config file for the adapter by
Odd Gunnar Malin).
If you have interest you can add TheKing personalitys in the file
InBetween.ini
Example for the Shredder 5.0 GUI in the config file for the Shredder 5.0 GUI
(*.eng file):
---
[ENGINE]
Name=TheKing 3.12
Author=Johan de Koning
Filename=f:\shredder5\wb2uci.exe
[OPTIONS]
LoadEngine=f:\shredder5\engines\theking\theking.exe

SendToEngine=cm_parm opk=xxxxxx\cm_parm tts=33554432\cm_parm opp=100 opn=100

avd=-10 rnd=0 sel=10 md=9

cm-parm tts=33554432 for hashtable size!
33554432 = bytes
Or better ... 32Mb x 1.024 x 1.024 = 33554432 bytes
NOTE 1:
You need a OPK number!
Peter Berger wrote in WinBoard Forum about the OPK number:

a. You have to be a legal owner of Chessmaster8000 - else : forget it.
b. Every day Chessmaster creates a magic OPK number to send to "The King"
so your engine settings for "The King" has to be changed daily.
c. Save your "TheKing.exe" so "TheKing.save"
d. Copy a crafty or other WinBoard engine which writes decent logfiles to
the Chessmaster 8000 folder and call it "TheKing.exe"
e Start Chessmaster8000 and start a game against a Chessmaster personality
now.
f. Have a look at the logfile: you'll see exactly what Chessmaster sends
- most important is the OPK-number.

NOTE 2:
a. TheKing is a program from Johan de Koning and commercial available with
the Chessmaster 8000 GUI.

b. The adaper is from Add Gunnar Malin.
c. The logos from Wilhelm Hudetz.
d. You can used also BMP files for the Fritz 6 GUI, very nice are the BMP
files in Chessmaster 8000 Wallpaper directory.
e. In the Chessmaster 8000 1.02 update file is a TheKing 3.12c version
available.

h. In my Top Downloader Page can be found other important adapter:

different UCI engines works fine under WinBoard and other commercial
chess GUIs (GUI = graphical user interface).
