Subject: For Graham Banks or any Wb2Uci knowledgeable person.......

Hi Graham and others, i have one problem.......

 I have never used before, Chessmaster parameters using outside text files. I
used to have the parameters inside Wb2Uci.eng and not with the command:
"Personality=<readfile>|combo|CM9File"

 I want to create the SKR for example, personality with a text file.
Before using text files, i had the following working method:
-----------------------------------
[ENGINE]
Name=CM9000-SKR
Author=Johan de Koning
Filename=Wb2Uci.exe

[OPTIONS]
Program=TheKing.exe
InitString=cm_parm default\cm_parm opk=611970 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 avd=-2 cfd=0 sop=100 rnd=0 sel=12 md=99
HashCommand=cm_parm tts=33554432 ttu=7
InitTime=4
.............
.............
Visible=Ponder,Hash
----------------------------------


 But now, using a text file, i have a file called CM9SKR.param and the following
Wb2Uci.eng:
----------------------------------
[ENGINE]
Name=CM9SKR
Author=Johan de Koning
Filename=Wb2Uci.exe

[OPTIONS]
Program=TheKing.exe
InitString=cm_parm default\ncm_parm

HashCommand=cm_parm tts=33554432 ttu=7
.................
.................

[EXTRAS]
Personality=<readfile>|combo|CM9SKR
----------------------------------

 But this method creates an engine that DOESN'T play with SKR settings but only
with default ones......
 I thought (it is in the Wb2Uci help) that the problem is that the CM9SKR file
which has to be accessed, should be a txt file so i renamed the CM9SKR.param to
CM9SKR.txt but with no success in having the correct personality running at
Cheebase-GUI......

 Can you tell me what is inside your Wb2Uci.eng and if you have CM9SKR.param or
CM9SKR.txt...........?



The CM9SKR.param file has the following:
++++++++++++++++++++++
[CM9SKR]
Opponents Pawn (opp)=100
Opponents Knight (opn)=100
Opponents Bishop (opb)=100
Opponents Rook (opr)=100
Opponents Queen (opq)=100
............
............
Opponent's Weakness (oppw)=100
ShowThinkingMove=1
Logfile=1
++++++++++++++++++++++
