Do this work? Not tried yet. I will try several constellations Fritz<->CP<->Shredder Classic at the weekend. >When I tried Shredder-Fritz I had to remove the mark on extended to get the >right moves, mybe this is true for CP-Fritz when CP is master too.

It is very easy to set up and I >didn't find any trouble whatsoever. No, WB-engines in general don't interest me much. Only TheKing resp. Chessmaster is interesting for me. And I have a book for Chessmaster for Fritz- and Shredder Classic-GUI but not for Chesspartner, from which I also dont know whether CM runs there as UCI or not. So even if CM runs in CP, there is still something messing up with the opening books. >With the auto232 protocol you will see that the clock isn't in sync but if you >use the latest Fritz uppgrade (06.sep.02), the game will proceed and the result >will be reported correct. >There was some report of problem with earlier Fritz version here a few days ago. > >Odd Gunnar Yes, I know that and complained about it too.
