Thank you very much, Jose, this helped with EXchess threads!! But now I find it difficult to turn off its opening book. Can this be done, too?

In this download you have documentation on WB2uci.
http://kirr.homeunix.org/chess/engines/ ... 351-ja.zip

This can be a beginning of configuration for EXchess:

Code: Select all

[ENGINE]
Name=EXchess_v7.88b_x64
Author=Daniel C Homan
Filename=EXchess_v7.88b_x64_uci.exe

[OPTIONS]
Program=EXchess_v7.88b_win64.exe
HashCommand=hash %iM
OwnBook=false
Visible=Ponder,Hash,Extras,Logfile,

[EXTRAS]
THREADS=cores|spin|1|1|32
EGTB_PATH=EGTB_PATH|string|c:\Tablebases            
EGTB_CACHE_SIZE=EGTB_CACHE_SIZE|spin|8|1|1024 
LOG=LOG|check|true|off|on|off                
MAX_LOGS=MAX_LOGS|spin|1|1|100 
Scorpio should be like, you can look at the sources and see the command that handles cores them,
cores, smp, threads, ect.

Thanks, Gunnar, this was it! I was setting hash at 2048M, that's why I could not run Bobcat 7.1.
