The point is: That way you have to set up an own WB engine with special Init String - for every TheKing setting/personality you wanna use - and above all: All of these TheKing engines under Arena need the valid OPK number before you're able to use them. Okay, I know there's the possibility to modify/expand the "OPK.vbs" (an utility by Emil Vlasak & Jan Pletanek, for automatic handling of the OPK number) so that the needed OPK numbers for every TheKing WB engine are refreshed all at once; but that's not so simple. The setup of TheKing with Wb2Uci (Pre setup method) allows switching between all settings with three short mouse clicks inside the Arena GUI (Configure engine) - without a need to edit any Init Strings for OPK numbers before. This Wb2Uci configuration works fine - at least for me :-) But generally I use WB engines under Arena without any adapter of course. Best, Manfred
