If you want to use 9 as default you have to add it to InitString too, but you could also change your string to: Selective Search (sel)=cm_parm sel=%i|spin|6|0|16 And then create a personality in Fritz or whatever with this setting to 9, then it will be sent to the engine at startup. To change the default to 9 in the initstring: InitString = (your previous string)\ncm_parm sel=9 Use only one of the above methods. Odd Gunnar
