The same info, slightly reformatted: How to set up Crafty and Winboard: 1. Download Winboard. 2. Install Winboard. 3. Download Crafty18.13.exe from Prof. Hyatt's site. 4. Download book.bin and books.bin from Prof. Hyatt's site. 5. Create new folder on the C:/ drive. Call it krafty. 6. Put Crafty18.13.exe, book.bin, and books.bin into it. 7. Go into folder krafty, create text file Crafty.rc in wordpad, include the following: hash 24M hashp 10M cache 4M drawscore=9 log off book on book random 1 book width 4 bookw freq 0.3 learn 7 resign 9 8. Download Crafty.doc; it will explain all these entries and how to change them. (That's for later; first you have to get things running right.) 9. Open Winboard startup dialog box. 10. Delete in first box "gnuchess". 11. Type in exactly as below. "wCrafty-18.13.exe"/fd="c:/krafty" 12. In secound box delete "gnuchess". 13. Type exactly as below. "wCrafty-18.13.exe"/sd="c:/krafty" Note: wCrafty-18.13.exe is the name of the executable on Hyatt'ss site. (Blue Windows box.) Note: All the rest is the location of the executable. Note: fd is first device, sd is secound device. Note: This works pretty much with all Winboard engines, but remember there are exceptions. Note: Don't use more than 2/3 of memory for hash. This works for most Winboard engines.
