You must copy the file "parameters.txt" into the same directory, where is the engine.

Bison 9.6 is a UCI engine, runs fine under ChessGUI.

Matthias.
My engine was quite strong till I added knowledge to it.

Could you put it for download on the Ru site where your other
program is.

Thanks,

"your other program" ? Bison is from Ivan Bonkin. Is that Osipov Jury ?
