So far, I couldn't get "King in Fritz" methods to work on my computers. It works now for me with your wb2uci.eng file (maybe it had to do with that ShowThinkingMove option or whatever). My suggestion would be, to set Logfile=false per default. I'm not 100% sure at the moment, but it looks like the log isn't deleted automatically between program start but constantly growing, so people who are not aware of this would have an ever growing file, or create a giant file during long matches. Maybe that could cause problems, i.e. memory or performance problems under certain circumstances. So I think it should better be off by default. Another idea is, to offer an alternative default setting directly in wb2uci.eng (while the "real" CM defaults can remain in the param file still), which is already modified. This could serve as a sample, how to have the preferred settings in Fritz by default, without having to load a param file after the GUI start always. Fritz 8 always loads the wb2uci defaults after a new GUI start. The example of the [EXTRAS] part below has the selectivity set to 12, and the king safety to 150/150, which are the most important changes of the CM9K default IMO; rest default (this is my so called "CM9K modified" personality :o). Your main idea of an exchangeable standard param file format for the CM personalities is great. - Unfortunately, previous Fritz GUI versions didn't have that option yet. Engine settings can be saved in Fritz 7, but not in single param files each, IIRC. But for The King in the Fritz 8 (ChessProgram8) GUI, that standard will be very useful.
