Installing a UCI engine
Before a UCI engine is displayed in the engine dialog (F3) it has to be installed. This is
done in a few simple steps:
1. Select the option Create UCI engine.
2. Next you must tell the program where the UCI engine is located. This is done by
point and click in the file selector that appears. Use "Browse" and locate the UCI
engine on your hard disk.
3. The name of the engine and its author are automa tically given. Simply click "OK" to
install the engine, which will then be displayed in the engine list.
Note that the UCI engine can be stored in any directory on any partition of your hard
disk.
Modifying engines
Many UCI engines allow you to modify a number of search and evaluation parameters
which influence the playing style of the engine. To change the parameters proceed as
described above. In the Create UCI engine dialog click on the button Parameters.
Each UCI engine will display the parameters which can be changed, and which vary for
different engines. If you change any of the parameters the input fields for "Name" and
"Author" become active and can be modified, within the constraints described above.
After clicking "OK" the new engine is registered and will appear in the Fritz engine list,
together with the other UCI and native Fritz engines.
Please note: modifying and storing an engine with a different name does not create a
new copy of the engine on your hard disk. Only the modified parameters are stored
under the new name and applied to the engine when this is started.

programs that are able to use more than one processor.
