Who knows how to properly run GNUchess 6.1.1 in Winboard?
In console mode reports that there is no file gnuchess.ini.What should be in this file?...
My operating system Windows 7 64bit, and I Use Winboard 4.2.6 and Winboard 4.7.3a.

here is a copy of what should be in the ini file.
copy this to a text file and change the extension to .ini.
place it in the folder with the engine in it. regards

Log = false # set to true for bug reports
LogFile = adapter.log

Resign = true
ResignMoves = 1 # 1 is safe for Fruit

BookFile = book.bin

[Engine]

# standard UCI options

Hash = 256 # in MB

NalimovCache = 16 # in MB

OwnBook = false # false for no book (e.g. Nunn-like matches)
BookFile = book.bin

save the original copy of gnuchess.ini for reference.

GNU Chess 6 can be run as UCI engine, right? Then it would not need these silly ini files.

That it needs a Polyglot ini file to run as WB engine really makes it an abomination...

Thank you very much. Gnuchess 6.1.1 works well now!
