I then downloaded a crafty.rc file from Peter Skinner's site and modified it to suit. Put in the wb2uci files and set it up as a Uci engine. I have edited my Super Tournament III to replace Crafty 19.14 with Crafty 19.15 and am in the process of rerunning the affected games. Once I've got through the first cycle of games, I'll post progress, but at present Crafty is struggling with just 1.5/10 Graham.
