[JohnW]

Anyone know where I can get the latest Crafty.exe to create a UCI?

Not sure what you are asking. Do you want a Crafty .exe that supports the UCI protocol directly? I don't think such a binary exists, given Bob's strong dislike for UCI (or so I recall).

I want to be able to make a UCI engine from Crafty via the Fritz 13 GUI.

You may have to search a bit for wb2cui.exe

There has never been a UCI crafty. I think wbtouci (or something like that) will let it work as a UCI engine, just like polyglot lets a UCI engine work as a winboard-compatible engine.

wb2cui.exe will be very hard to find due to my mistake.
It is wb2uci of course.
Here is a wayback link

Chessbase used to provide some versions of Crafty configured as native engines to run in their GUI.
Haven't seen one for a while though.

I was close. If I had been throwing a hand grenade, that would have done the job nicely.

Hello man !

You need four files:

1.-the original .exe (a WB engine);
2.-the Wb2Uci.exe (you have the link);
3.-the Wb2Uci.bmp- the logo
4.- a good Wb2Uci.eng file. Here it is (how to do):

-create a .txt document;
-copy/paste the below datas:
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
[ENGINE]
Name=Crafty 23.7
Author=Robert Hyatt, USA
Filename=Wb2Uci.exe

[OPTIONS]
Program=crafty-23.7-x86.exe (or x64- for the 64 bit engine)
Hash=128
HashCommand=hash %iM
InitString=resign 700 3
InitTime=5
MateScore=32767
OwnBook=true
TerminateHard=true
Visible=Ponder,Hash,OwnBook,Extras,Logfile,Computer
WhiteScore=true
log=off

[EXTRAS]
Tournament mode=mode|check|false|normal|tournament
Crafty log=log|check|false|off|on
Learning=learn|spin|7|0|7
NalimovPath=tbpath|string|d:\TBS
NalimovCache=cache %iM|spin|16|1|32
Swindle mode=swindle|check|false|off|on

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

-save the text;
-rename the file like Wb2Uci.eng

At the end - enter on Fritz GUI - Engine(menu)/Create UCI engine/select Wb2Uci.exe like UCI engine.

That's all !

Have a nice day !
