Fritz 16 GUI question

Post by cc2150dx »

I'm trying to run engine matches in Fritz 16 with multipv. But Fritz doesn't show the multipv option in engine parameters (I know Arena does). Is there a way to fix this ?

Thanks

Try editing the corresponding .uci files (Fritz/Chessbase engine config files) by adding the appropriate MultiPV command to the "[OPTIONS]" section.
The .uci files are typically stored in C:\Users\<user name>\AppData\Roaming\ChessBase\Engines.UCI.

Example:

Code: Select all

[ENGINE]
Name=Stockfish 9 64 POPCNT
Author=T. Romstad, M. Costalba, J. Kiiski, G. Linscott
Filename=C:\Program Files\ChessBase\Engines.x64\sf\Stockfish 9 64 pop.exe
Priority=below normal
[OPTIONS]
UCI_Chess960=true
SyzygyProbeLimit=5
MultiPV=2
