      Hi Gabor
      At first I had the same problem but could help in
      two ways:
      1.) It worked fine when loading the UCI engine before
      the native engine
      2) But a better solution was to cancel completely the
      contents in the folder C:\Eigene Dateien\ChessBase\CompBase
      where the GUI writes the files "EngMatch.cbh" and so on
      of the current engine matches.
      Best regards
      Kurt
