Getting The King to work in Chessbase interfaces like (Chessbase 7 and above or Fritz 5.32,Fritz 6, Junior 6/7,Hiarcs 7.32,Nimzo 8), etc is pretty tricky (although there are some benefits mainly because Chessbase interfaces unlike Winboard or Arena can provide opening books which The King lacks (bad link))For steps to convert chessmaster's OBK opening books to Fritz's CTG. Change the inbetween.ini file with a text editor to the following line:ĬommandLine := c:\chessmaster9000\theking.exe
While the method for obtaining the OPK number is the same, to get The King to work in Arena and SCID, you need to use Inbetween itself to sit in-between and send the OPK number to The King. Here's one way that does not use inbetween. As such the method outlined below to manually find the OPK number is preferred |There are a few methods to obtain the OPK number,including using inbetween (bad link) but this is not usually necessary since in most interfaces you can send the OPK number directly. For example, users have reported problems when the patched The King is used in Winboard in analysis mode.
#Chessmaster 10 cannot enable 3d engine Patch
The maker of the patch main purpose in removing the OPK check is so that it can be used together with Odd Malin's wbtouci adaptor in Fritz (bad link), and as such it may not work properly elsewhere. The patch should not be applied on Theking.exe which you use in Chessmaster since this causes problems in the Chessmaster GUI, so the best method would be to apply the patch on a copy of Theking.exe that you wish to use outside Chessmaster GUI.Ģ. There is a patch (direct link 62K) posted that dis-enables the OPK check for all Chessmasters to date (8000,9000,10000) so you can avoid the steps below if you apply the patch. How do I use Winboard engines in Chessmaster?Ībout the Patch that disables the OPK check
There is a patch (bad link) posted that dis-enables the OPK check for Chessmaster 8000, 9000 and 10,000 This can only be obtained from the CD, and if you reset the computer, the OPK number changes. This is because there is a copy protection scheme.To avoid this, you need to send a number called the “OPK number” with the parameters. (bad link) There is a complication though, if you treat TheKing.exe as a normal Winboard engine, you will find that when used in for example Winboard, The King will start moving instantly regardless of the time control. Some engines choke on this.Here's a detailed analysis of The Winboard protocol implementation in Chessmaster 8000.More importantly (for many users) the Chess engine (or chess playing part) that powers Chessmaster 8000, 9000 and 10,000 - namely The King by Johan De Koning is now a Winboard engine, which means that it can be exported outside Chessmaster to be used in any interface that supports the Winboard protocol.
#Chessmaster 10 cannot enable 3d engine update
If the “thinking lines” window is open, Chessmaster's GUI will send the ”.” command (which normally is sent only during analyse mode) so that it can get a regular update on the progress of the search. Either against yourself or you can pit it against Chessmaster itself.Chessmaster's support of the Winboard protocol is pretty good ,except there is one oddity. This means that you can import Winboard engines (Crafty,Gnuchess,Yace etc) into Chessmaster. From Chessmaster 8000 onwards, there is support for the Winboard protocol.
