I've read Malin's page, but I have to admit that I'm still confused. His
instructions are for using Chessmaster 8000 in Fritz 6, whereas I'm trying to
use Chessmaster 9000 in Fritz 8. The Fritz side seems clear, the only difference
to Malin's instructions is that there's no longer a Winboard adapter. I'm having
problems with the Chessmaster side. I can't find InBetween.ini, and the file
cm.ini seems to be something different. Does the file TheKing.init have to be
created the same as in Malin's instructions? I just don't know what to do, apart
from trial and error. Has anyone written step-by-step instructions for the use
of Chessmaster 9000 in Fritz's GUI? There must have been posts on the subject in
this forum, but I ignored them at the time because I didn't have Chessmaster.
