Go up one level in this thread


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 on the task bar. Click its icon on
the taskbar 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. 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.

(9) Each time you reboot, you will have to repeat steps 4-7, but you do NOT have
to re-install. Just change the opk number in the wb2uci.eng file and it will be
OK.
