Have a look in the ChessGUI readme file - Matthias has listed what you need to do for each engine.

When using the wb2uci adapters, I put the command line parameters in the exe name inside the folder. Here is an example:

[ENGINE]
Name=Dirty 6J-22
Author=Andres Valverde and Pradu Kannan
Filename=DirtyUci.exe

[OPTIONS]
Program=Dirty.exe -hash 128 -degbb G:\egbb -dcache 32

Ah, I understand. It does look easy; I think I'll be able to get it working without any trouble. At least I hope so. :)

Thanks for the help, Graham
