I already have the 1.01 patch. I also made a few phone calls, and found Chessmaster Grandmaster Edition on the shelf of Best Buy in a nearby city. I think i will take a little drive later today. :-)

This patch probably won't work on the CD version though, according to what i read in the CM 11 forum.

Hi, I have got the DVD too today here in Germany
- I installed it now
- there are 3 engines
-King333
-King350
-King350-64
The King350-64 maybe around 5% faster (very short test here)
- The King350 runs the same way as cm10 does in other guis with a opk number
- I failed to use more than one CPU running it under Chessbase (I do not know the command for it....)
- The King uses both CPUs here on my dual
- I would be interested, if someone knows that command to use 2 CPUs in other GUIs.

I see no option to add the download version to the cart. Also, I was hoping that they would do away with the whole OPK number thing. May be Graham can help me out this time, after I buy it again.

Yeah, Graham had a nice workaround for CM10. I hope he will share it with us again for CM11.

Unfortunately this is not my area of expertise Tony.
I know that Odd Gunnar Malin and others had a system for using CM in Chessbase GUIs, although the opk number needed to be refreshed periodically, but I can't recall who came up with the method of avoiding the opk refresh.

I might try copying the same WB2UCI ini that you send me last time. Also, I am going to wait until many people have the engine running under Arena or Fritz.

Can you give a link to a site with a good description of the use of the adapter and ubk number?
