Go up one level in this thread


Hallo,

FYI, I use a different method...

I use Windows Explorer and substitute the personality I want to use for
Chessmaster.cmp.  I just rename them.  For example I rename the original
Chessmaster.cmp to something like Chessmaster.cmp-original, then rename the
desired personality as Chessmaster.cmp.  That way the software thinks it is
still using the original Chessmaster personality but it is really using my
desired personality.

I believe that bypasses several problems, including the one where multiple
engines are running which slows down things greatly.  Note that you can check to
see if multiple engines are running via Ctrl-Alt-Delete.  Each engine running
shows up as "the King".  There should only be one "the King", or the speed of
each is greatly slowed.

I consider the running of multiple engines simultaneously to be a "bug", however
they wouldn't admit to that and said there is some obscure reason for designing
it that way. I didn't buy that argument...
