The typical problem of having a yace.ini, when Yace is installed as an UCI engine under commercial GUIs will be a message like "This is not an UCI engine". This problem is caused by a timeout in the GUI. You may also call it a bug of Yace, a misfeature, or whatever. I decided, that Yace should per default work rather well in text mode, in Winboard/Xboard mode, and in UCI mode. As a consequence, Yace processes yace.ini, before it knows, that it really will work in UCI mode. Some things, that can be setup in yace.ini (for example the path to Nalimov TBs) will need some time to initialize. All the interesting things can be setup with engine parameters in the UCI capable GUIs anyway, so the best solution will be to delete yace.ini. The path to the bitbases is unfortunatley an exception (because of bugs in the CB interface). So, if you want to use bitbases with (at least some) versions of the Fritz/CB GUI, use a minimal yace.ini, as Peter explained. There seem to be other problems with some versions of the CB-GUI and some versions of uci.dll. I have no good solution, sorry. One related hint can be found at the end of readme.txt in yace_pb.zip.
