Hi Kurt,

I know I have changed the topic, sorry, but thanks for confirming it. The
adapter should behave like an UCI engine here.

My point was that also every _real_ UCI engine should have the same problem
playing under Fritz.

When it is about setting up SmarThink I can't say anything useful as I haven't
tried it yet.

Regards,
Peter
