You didn't tell us the way you're using the Chessmaster engine in Fritz.
In case you're using the Wb2Uci adaptor by Odd Gunnar Malin
(http://home.online.no/~malin/sjakk/download/Wb2Uci.zip) you should try the "Pre
Setup" method (described in "Engines.txt" of the Wb2Uci ZIP file).
The Wb2Uci.eng file should look like:

[ENGINE]
Name=The King 3.23
Author=Johan de Koning
Filename=Wb2Uci.exe

[OPTIONS]
Program=TheKing 3.23.exe
InitString=cm_parm default\ncm_parm opk=xxx
HashCommand=cm_parm tts=%i004096
;ShowThinkingMove=true
;Logfile=true
Visible=Ponder,Hash,ShowThinkingMove,Logfile,Extras

[EXTRAS]
Personality=<readfile>|combo|Default|CMFun|CM8777|Slick


For every personality (in the last line, like "CMFun" or "Slick") you need an
own *.txt file (in the same Wb2Uci folder) with the specific settings, e.g. for
"CMFun.txt":

 ;---- CMFun.txt
; A personality created by Sarah Bird (Chessfun), CAN
cm_parm opp=114 opn=138 opb=138 opr=125 opq=138
cm_parm myp=114 myn=138 myb=138 myr=125 myq=138
cm_parm cc=100 mob=105 ks=134 pp=105 pw=129
cm_parm cfd=0 sop=100 avd=5 rnd=0 sel=12 md=99
;---- File end

To switch between these personalities in Fritz right mouse click in window "Main
engine Pain", select "Properties"; in the following window "Engine parameters:
..."  now you can switch between (King-)Default and the other personalities
(it's possible to use up to 10 different personalities in ChessBase GUI).
Important: Switching between the King settings with F3 (change main engine) and
button "Engine parameters" will be without effect: The King engine then will
always play with the Default settings !
In using The King engine in Fritz I additionally recommend to let analyse at
first the King Default personality 2-3 seconds and then select one of the other
CM personalities; so you can be sure that you will now analyse with the correct
loaded CM personality.

Manfred
