Ive added Rybka as a UCI engine to Fritz 11 but she shows up with the name “Rybka 3 2.3.2a mp”. Is this expected?
No. The Fritz interface sometimes gets confused about installed engines. You’ll have to either re-install Fritz 11 or clean up the engine list manually by deleting or editing the self-explanatory text *.uci files which are kept in: C:Documents and SettingsAdministratorApplication DataChessBaseEngines.UCI Note: “Administrator” should be replaced by your username if appropriate. Note 2: Another tip from CB to solve this problem in GUI11 is to load a CB Native engine before doing create uci. It’s not clear why exactly this would work, but apparently it does. When I try to load Rybka Human into Fritz, the operation fails with a pop-up saying “Rybka 3 Human must be modified”. This message usually pops up in the Fritz GUIs when you have changed the default parameters during the installation. In order to finish the installation process, you must first change the engine name in the window, for example to “Rybka 3 big contempt”.
