Well, if you want to use Crafty 24.1 in Fritz GUI you need two files:

1.-Wb2Uci.eng

Use please the following structure:

===========

[ENGINE]
Name=Crafty 24.1
Author=Robert Hyatt, USA
Filename=Wb2Uci.exe

[OPTIONS]
Program=crafty24.1n.exe
Hash=160
HashCommand=hash %iM
InitString=resign 700 3
InitTime=5
MateScore=32767
OwnBook=true
TerminateHard=true
Visible=Ponder,Hash,OwnBook,Extras,Logfi le,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

===========

This above is for the 32-bit non-popcnt version. If uou use other version (x64 for example) change the first line in [OPTIONS] - Program=the name of the executable you want to use.
If you have Nalimov TBS in other location (for me is d:\TBS) change it in [EXTRAS] section.

2.-Wb2Uci.exe

Better (and imperative for the x64 versions) is to use the Wb2Uci.exe from 2007 year (the newer). You can find it in this archive:

http://kirr.homeunix.org/chess/engin...-10-win-ja.zip

Just rename shallow-10-64-Wb2Uci.exe in Wb2Uci.exe

3.- If you want to use a logo rename please a Crafty logo in Wb2Uci.bmp

4.-Under Fritz GUI select Wb2Uci.exe like UCI engine !

All works absolutely perfectly !
