This will set up the engine to move with a long timecontrol so you sould at least get an hour analysis on each position. There could also be another problem, I'm not sure it is the case with this since I don't have it, but I will mention it anyway. When an engine is multithreaded (ver. 0.82 was I think) there is a problem when running in Fritz both with this adapter and with the WB-adapter from Chessbase. To show the pv-line when the engine is searching the engine need to be run at lower priority than normal. Fritz set the thread priority of the engine to 'below normal' when it start the engine. Because the engine is multithreaded this try to lower the priority don't reach the search thread of the engine. A result of this is that the pv line comes in a bunch just before the engine moves. So if you are making an engine where the search thread isn't the main thread you should either make command to lower the search thread or let it smell such gui-command automatic. This don't only supply to Fritz, also ChessAssistant 6.0 has this as an option. For analyzing it is realy a nice feature because you can work with other thing on you PC when you analyze a position/game. I made a quick fix for this in the adapter for use when you realy need to see the pv-line (analyzing). The option parameter for this is 'RunIdle=true' where I lower the hole engine process. Some engines that is threaded allready have this as command so read the helpfile for the engine. Odd Gunnar
