Ok, I will try to be nice :) Creat a folder named "Shredder9", then put next files into it: ---------------------------- EngineDeepShredder9UCI.exe EngineDeepShredder9UCI.exe.reg shredder.pl2 shredder.cfg Leo_PG.bin <<>> PolyGlot book Cygwin1.dll Shredder_PG.exe <<>> renamed PolyGlot.exe PolyGlot.ini ---------------------------- The first 4 files you need to copy from your Shredder9 installation folder! "PolyGlot.ini" should look like this: --------------------- [PolyGlot] EngineName = DeepShredder 9 EngineDir = . EngineCommand = EngineDeepShredder9UCI.exe Log = true LogFile = Shredder9.log Resign = true ResignScore = 800 Book = true BookFile = Leo_PG.bin [Engine] Hash = 128 ; in MB Threads = 1 NalimovPath = D:\Nalimov NalimovCache = 8 ----------------------- "WinBoard.ini" lines: "Shredder_PG PolyGlot.ini" /fd="d:\winboard\_uciengines\shredder9" ; /name="DeepShredder 9" "Shredder_PG PolyGlot.ini" /sd="d:\winboard\_uciengines\shredder9" ; /name="DeepShredder 9" ----------------------- In the above example _all_ the files are in "D:\winboard\_uciengines\shredder9"!! EGTBs in "D:\Nalimov" Dont forhet to change them into _your_ paths! Unless I have forgot something it should work :)) Best wishes, Leo. P.S.If you use more engines/PolyGlot be sure they all use the same Cygwin1.dll !!
