Instead of the above mentioned "Pre Setup" Wb2Uci.eng use the following Wb2Uci.eng - representing the CM9000 engine "The King 3.23" with default settings: [ENGINE] Name=CM 9000 Author=Johan de Koning Filename=Wb2Uci.exe [OPTIONS] Program=Program=C:\Program Files\Ubi Soft\Chessmaster 9000\TheKing.exe InitString=cm_parm default\ncm_parm opk=123456 HashCommand=cm_parm tts=%i004096 ShowThinkingMove=true ;Logfile=true Visible=Ponder,Hash,ShowThinkingMove,Logfile,Extras [EXTRAS] Opponents Pawn (opp)=cm_parm opp=%i|spin|100|0|4500 Opponents Knight (opn)=cm_parm opn=%i|spin|100|0|1500 Opponents Bishop (opb)=cm_parm opb=%i|spin|100|0|1500 Opponents Rook (opr)=cm_parm opr=%i|spin|100|0|900 Opponents Queen (opq)=cm_parm opq=%i|spin|100|0|498 Kings Pawn (myp)=cm_parm myp=%i|spin|100|0|4500 Kings Knight (myn)=cm_parm myn=%i|spin|100|0|1500 Kings Bishop (myb)=cm_parm myb=%i|spin|100|0|1500 Kings Rook (myr)=cm_parm myr=%i|spin|100|0|900 Kings Queen (myq)=cm_parm myq=%i|spin|100|0|498 Opponents Centre Control (opcc)=cm_parm opcc=%i|spin|100|0|600 Opponents Mobility (opmob)=cm_parm opmob=%i|spin|100|0|600 Opponents King Safety (opks)=cm_parm opks=%i|spin|100|0|600 Opponents Passed Pawn (oppp)=cm_parm oppp=%i|spin|100|0|600 Opponents Pawn Weakness (oppw)=cm_parm oppw=%i|spin|100|0|600 Kings Centre Control (mycc)=cm_parm mycc=%i|spin|100|0|600 Kings Mobility (mymob)=cm_parm mymob=%i|spin|100|0|600 Kings King Safety (myks)=cm_parm myks=%i|spin|100|0|600 Kings Passed Pawn (mypp)=cm_parm mypp=%i|spin|100|0|600 Kings Pawn Weakness (mypw)=cm_parm mypw=%i|spin|100|0|600 Contempt (cfd)=cm_parm cfd=%i|spin|0|-500|500 Strength (sop)=cm_parm sop=%i|spin|100|0|100 Attack Defend (avd)=cm_parm avd=%i|spin|0|-100|100 Randomness (rnd)=cm_parm rnd=%i|spin|0|0|100 Selective Search (sel)=cm_parm sel=%i|spin|9|0|16 Max Depth (md)=cm_parm md=%i|spin|999|0|999 Based on this default CM9k engine now you can create another UCI engine with different settings (e.g. Pillen settings) in Fritz gui by a) menue "Engine | Create UCI Engine ..." b) with the button "Browse" go to your folder "C:\Program Files\ChessBase\Engines\TheKing323" and choose the file "Wb2Uci.exe" c) after loading process press the button "Parameter..." modify in the following window "Engine Parameters:..." the values (e.g. for Pillen settings look at the "CM9_Pillen.txt", then press "Save" and "OK" d) in the window "Setup UCI engine" now change the engine name (in the line "Name:") to "CM 9000_Pillen", then press "OK" Now it's a new UCI engine "CM 9000_Pillen" defined which you can choose in Fritz 7 with "F3".
