You must simply find the opk number and insert it. a)Obtaining the OPK number In your Chessmaster directory, look for the file "TheKing.exe" and rename it to say "TheKing.old" Copy the winboard version of crafty (or other WinBoard engine, which writes decent logfiles, I assume you use Crafty) to the Chessmaster 8000/9000 folder and rename it to "TheKing.exe". The crafty.rc file is not necessary. Start Chessmaster8000/9000 and start a game against a Chessmaster personality that you wish to use in Winboard . Exit Chessmaster, and take a look at the log file (usually log.001 or log.oox) created by Crafty in the chessmaster folder. Look for a line that says .... opk=xxxxxx (where x is a number) Copy the OPK number and any parameters needed if you are not using a default personality, Reverse steps 1-2, to return Chessmaster back to normal. Basically you replaced theKing.exe with crafty.exe and when chessmaster is run the commands needed (including the OPK number) to be sent to Chessmaster will be sent to Crafty instead.From there you can extract the information needed from Crafty's log file. http://www.aarontay.per.sg/Winboard/Winboard4.html#[D.3] (source) Regards, Saif Murad
