![]() The program author and name will automatically appear. Then navigate to that folder containing the Komodo engine from the earlier step. This brings up the “Set up UCI Engine” window.Ĭlick on the button with the three dots in the top right. Look in the “Home” tab of the ribbon for the “Engines” section, and click on “Create UCI Engine”. You go back into ChessBase 15, and into a board window (we looked at how to do that before). If your version of windows is set to not show the part after the “dot” in filenames, then you’re looking for “application” under type. The one that we are interested in is the one that ends “.exe”. ![]() On my computer is it the “Downloads folder”ĭouble click the folder to see the contents. However, whatever the process, the important thing to note is WHERE that file is downloaded to (which folder that file now appears in). How files will download on your system will depend on what internet browser etc you are using. This is usually done from the programmers website. So, let’s walk through adding a UCI engine to ChessBase 15, using the aforementioned Komodo 14 as our example.įirst you need to download your UCI engine. There are many UCI engines available on the internet, but the process to add any of them is identical. ChessBase make adding their own engines effortless! ![]() In addition to Deep Fritz 14 that comes with ChessBase 15, we now have several engines that come bundled with Komodo 14 (this is also the case with Houdini 6 and Fritz 17). We saw in a previous article that after installing Komodo 14, we could automatically access several new engines in ChessBase 15 with no further effort If you install any of the current batch of “Fritz family” playing programs, then they will automatically appear in your available engine list. Of course if you missed a forced mate or material-winning combination, then multiple chess engines may just tell you the same thing, but different engines are programmed by different people, and in non-forcing positions each engine could potentially show you different ways you might have played at those points. Just like if you show your game to two different strong human players, they may offer different ideas about the same position different chess engines are the same, just MUCH stronger. Historically they have also produced many more. ![]() They also produce engines like Komodo 14, and Houdini 6. The most famous chess engine is Fritz, produced by ChessBase. If you are not familiar with the term, the chess engine is the “brain” that does all the chess calculation, either playing or analysing chess moves. However, the reality is that it is an incredibly simple way of adding different chess engines to your ChessBase 15 program. If you don’t know much about computers, then it can sound a little daunting. UCI stands for Universal Chess Interface, it allows you to add any “UCI” Chess Engine to ChessBase 15 (or indeed to any of the Fritz-family of playing programs). I’m going to start this week by getting the one and only complicated bit – the name – out of the way first.
