I have already read the threads on this issue here and they are not helpful. As the subject line states, with Arena, no issues at all. Nice to have an alternative to CB yet again! I would like to try out some Fruit 2.2 games on playchess.com though and so I need the CB proprietary GUI for that. I have gone through the "create UCI" process with no errors. I can load Fruit 2.2 as an engine just fine. As an aside, I would like to find a chess server that is a free alternative to playchess.com that others can use for engine-engine games (amongst others) that does not require the CB GUI. I prefer a system where computer accounts are created freely without hassles (unlike FICS or ICC). Anyone know of such a place? I click on the "Openings Book" tab in the GUI and closed the book in use so that pane now just says "Load Book". I selected "Change Main Engine" and then clicked on the "Engine Parameters" button. "Own Book" is checked off on the window of engine parameters that pops up. In the field "Book File" I have tried "book.bin" (the default), "C:\Program Files\Fruit\book.bin" (a full path to where the book.bin file lives" and even C:\book.bin (I copied the book file there in the hopes it would find it). While there is some small evidence that a book might be in use, it's not right: 1. e4 e5 (immediate response indicating some sort of book I suppose) 2. Nf3 (Fruit is now out of book). or this 1. e4 c5 (immediate response) 2. Nf3 (Fruit is now out of book). Anyone have better luck with the CB GUI and own book use for Fruit 2.2 ? Thanks, Roy
