This UCI engine is not available so. Thanks for your reply, prove you, i >>am not expert about these things. Fabio Calamassi - Italy I'd like to help, but I hae no Fritz 7, so it is not easy. I am not sure what you mean be "function" in the above sentence. However, Manfred's suggestion may work. To give some technical details (you can ignore): Yace is a WB engine and a UCI engine at the same time. As WB engine it needs a file yace.ini, if you want to setup things like hash tables and TB path. This file is not needed, when used as an UCI engine, because the info is set in the GUI and the GUI will tell it to the engine. At the time Yace starts, it doew not know yet, if it will run as UCI engine or not. So it tries to read yace.ini anyway. Now, when tbpath is set in yace.ini, the initialitation of Yace may need a bit of time. Before it will answer to the UCI-GUI and tell it the engine name and the author name. If this time is too long, the UCI-GUI (Fritz in your case) may lose patience, and think, this is not an UCI engine. If this should be the reason, and you are only interested in Yace as UCI engine, just delete yace.ini. This is the idea behind Manfred's instructions. Don't get confused by my omments to him. >1. Do you have a file named yace.ini in your yace folder ? >a) If so open yace.ini (with an editor) and reduce the hash amount - e.g. to 1 >MB. Then try to install Yace as UCI engine. Typically hash should not need long (less than a second) to initialize. Unless there is a very tight memory situation, and/or a computer which has not enough memory for the 40M given in the sample yace.ini. >b) Is there no yace.ini in your Yace folder start the file yace.exe (by >doubleclicking) and close the window again. Then open yace.ini, reduce hash >amount and try Yace installing as UCI once more. I don't understand. Yace will not create a yace.ini by itself. Who would create this? If Fabio has no yace.ini, his problem should be unrelated. Actually, I suggest to run yace as UCI engine without yace.ini. >2. Rename the file yace.ini (e.g. to yace.in$) and try installing Yace UCI >engine once more. After that rename yace.in$ back to yace.ini. This may solve (as deleting) Fabio's problem. Regards, Dieter
