Next you have to download the winboard-interface and then you can get some winboard engines (gnuchess, The crazy Bishop etc.). There is also an description how to make engines like Tristam and so on playable with Fritz. 1. Make a folder (in ...\ChessBase\Engines) for the Tristam files and copy them into this folder. 2. Copy the gnuchess.init file from gnuchess-folder (be sure it is the version from chessbase!) to Tristam folder and rename it to tristam.init 3. Copy the Winboard interface (Winboardeng.eng) to the ...\Chessbase\Engines folder and rename it to Tristam.eng Now if you start Fritz and look to your engines with F3 you should see Tristam and can work with that engine. Hope this little explanation will help. Best wishes Torsten
