Chessmaster 11 from Ubisoft works as WinBoard-engine?

Post by Norbert Raimund Leisner »

Hello members of the "talkchess-forum",

former contributions of Aaron Tay (Horizonchess-website) and "Odd" Gunnar Malin decribed this procedure, but exists a newer topic (in French and German, too!) for CM 11 now?

Maybe you can tell me some links / URL´s about. It is required for a (later) "Arena" topic (comparable to SMIRF and the Smirfoglot adapter by H.G. Muller).

Another example: Rebel 12 from Lokasoft is WB too, but from the Dutch producer of the software it is only guaranteed that the program works correctly under Chesspartner-GUI!

Theory and reality are often not the same and I have doubts if Ubisoft is really interested in customer service....

Best wishes,
Norbert

YES ! The King ( of Johan de Koning ) - the engine behind Chessmaster series ( in 4000/5000/5500/6000/7000/8000/9000/X & XI versions ) is a Winboard engine !This engine works very well also like UCI using the Wb2Uci adapter but the procedure is not easy ( the OPK number.....) If you are interested in a forum about Chessmaster XI take a look here :

:lol:

PS: Rebel 12 of Ed Schroder ( published by Lokasoft ) works well like WB engine in all major GUIs supporting the WB protocol.Works also well in Fritz GUI like UCI !
