Hi,
The problem is that no one - except, of course, a few Chessbase guys - knows the
Fritz interface. You can only write an adapter if you know *both* sides. The
current one takes input in "UCI format" and converts it into "Chessbase format",
whatever that is exactly. However, there seem to be some problems with it - we
("Ikarus team") have never really tested it properly though...
I hope this is more clarification than confusion!
Best regards - Munjong.
