The King engine from Chessmaster 9000 will run as a UCI engine with the WB2UCI
converter. However, although I don't have Chessbase8, I have a feeling that it
doesn't support UCI engines. If you have one of the later versions of the
Fritz/Junior/Shredder/Hiarcs GUI's, which support UCI, then it can be done.

Here is a link that explains how to do it:
