Most important however: Ensure that your Chessmaster 9000 is installed together with the latest CM9K patch/upgrade v1.01 [download address = http://support.ubi.com/patches.phpin] so you will have "TheKing.exe" (134.144 Byte) and the updated CM9-GUI. Please let me me know the paths of your folders a) Chessmaster 9000 [e.g. "C:\Programme\Ubi Soft\Chessmaster 9000" b) ChessBase\Engines [e.g. "C:\Programme\ChessBase\Engines" c) Fritz 7 [e.g. "C:\Programme\ChessBase\Fritz7\" to enable me to send you some prepared files for starting The King 3.23 (as "UCI" engine with the Wb2Uci adapter) in Fritz 7 including the possibility to easily switch between some special CM9_settings (like CM9_default, CM9_8777, CM9_Pillen, CM9_Utz12n). By the way: these files can also be used to work with The King.eng in other GUI's like: - Hiarcs 8 - Shredder 6 (ChessBase and/or Classic GUI) - Chess Assistant 6.1 - Arena provided the paths are set to these GUI's.
