I recommend the Wb2Uci method using textfiles for the King settings, aka Chessmaster Personalities :-) With that, you can switch between the settings using a list box in the engine settings dialogue (F3 etc.) Example for a Wb2Uci.eng providing this: [ENGINE] Name=The King 3.23 Author=Johan de Koning Filename=Wb2Uci.exe [OPTIONS] Program=TheKing.exe InitString=cm_parm default\ncm_parm opk=000000 HashCommand=cm_parm tts=%i004096 ShowThinkingMove=true ;Logfile=true Visible=Ponder,Hash,Logfile,Extras [EXTRAS] Personality=<readfile>|combo|Default|Default|CM9_SKR|CM9K_mod --- You can add more settings to the last line, following the pattern above. There must be files with exactly the same names, and extension .txt, containing the setting parameters themselves in the same directory. Examples for the settings textfiles: ;---- Default.txt ; Default Chessmaster 9000 personality cm_parm opp=100 opn=100 opb=100 opr=100 opq=100 cm_parm myp=100 myn=100 myb=100 myr=100 myq=100 cm_parm mycc=100 mymob=100 myks=100 mypp=100 mypw=100 cm_parm opcc=100 opmob=100 opks=100 oppp=100 oppw=100 cm_parm cfd=0 sop=100 avd=0 rnd=0 sel=9 md=99 ;--- File end ;---- Default.txt ; CM9K_modified personality by Mike Scheidl cm_parm opp=100 opn=100 opb=100 opr=100 opq=100 cm_parm myp=100 myn=100 myb=100 myr=100 myq=100 cm_parm mycc=100 mymob=100 myks=150 mypp=100 mypw=100 cm_parm opcc=100 opmob=100 opks=150 oppp=100 oppw=100 cm_parm cfd=0 sop=100 avd=0 rnd=0 sel=12 md=99 ;--- File end Note that a setting is *required* even to get the CM9000 default selectivity value of 9 when running The King in another GUI, because the default selectivity of the engine itself is only 6 (9 is set by the CM9000 GUI)! Which means, when people run the engine without transmitting sel=9, they don't get the correct CM9000 sel. default; IIRC 6 was the default in CM8000. If you are not familiar with the Wb2Uci adapter at all, see: http://home.online.no/~malin/sjakk/Wb2Uci/ (adapter software & basics) http://www.uciengines.de/ (Wb2Uci.eng configs for many engines etc.) >2) How to set and change personalities in shredder 8 in the chessbase gui? "F3, Engine paramters" --> the settings, and Save/Load/Default buttons This uses ini-like ASCII files with .param extension. Regards, M.Scheidl
