It's complicated so there is a very good chance I will accidentally leave out a
crucial step. But I will try my best.

(1) You first need to get Inbetween.exe and Inbetween.ini.
You also need wb2uci.exe and wb2uci.eng

(2) Rename Inbetween.exe to TheKing.exe.

In Inbetween.ini should be as follows:

[InBetween]

CommandLine := TheKing333.exe
Debug := 3
Log := logfile.txt

[Client2Server]


[Server2Client]

(3) Run chessmaster.exe

(4) Start a game with chessmaster in the game room

(5) Go to the command window that popped up and copy down the opk number.
It will be different each time you boot. Right now on my machine it is
923906.

(6) exit chessmaster

(7) now go to edit wb2uci.eng.
Here is the wb2uci.eng I use (I'm using skr settings which were designed for
cm9k but they work well with cm10k). Notice where I put in the opk number:

[ENGINE]
Name=TheKing 3.33 skr
Author=Johan de Koning
Filename=Wb2Uci.exe

[OPTIONS]
Program=TheKing333.exe

InitString=cm_parm default\ncm_parm opk=923906\ncm_parm tts=131072000 opp=100
opn=100 opb=100 opr=100 opq=100 myp=100 myn=100 myb=100 myr=100 myq=101 cc=105
mob=110 ks=155 pp=100 pw=100 cfd=0 sop=100 avd=-2 rnd=0 sel=12 md=99

HashOnCommandline=false
InitTime=2
Ponder=false
Logfile=false
Edit=setboard
UseSAN=false
Priority=normal
AddHintMove=false
ShowThinkingMove=true
Protocol=1

(8) Now install "wb2uci.exe" as a UCI engine.
