Stockfish 5

Stockfish bench signature is: 8732553
Hi, I downloaded and then hit RUN and I get a blackscreen with the authors names, so what do I need to do to get it to run as a UCI engine in Chessbase GUI?

Thanks,

Sean

Start the interface, then in menu "engines" -> "UCI" -> "add engine" and select the Stockfish 5 executable.

Got it thanks. Interesting that I can download one of the strongest engines on the planet for free, while I have to pay for several engines that are quite a bit weaker, such as Hiarcs, etc!
