How to use Gullydeckel as chess engine in Chessbase?

There is detailed information on this on the web and
within the files "chessbase.htm" and "The Winboard Engine 
Adapter.htm" which are part of this package.

As a shortcut, I have done the renaming of the *.eng file
and creation of the init file already, so you should:

1. Find the folder where Chessbase (I use Chessbase 8) is
installed. (e.g., c:\programs\chessbase\)

2. There should be a subfolder called "Engines" which has
fritz.eng and crafty.eng (or similar) already in it. 
Copy 

gullydeckel.eng 

into that folder.

3. Create (within the Engines directory) a folder called
"gullydeckel". Copy the files

gullydeckel.exe
gullydeckel.init

to it.

4. Start Chessbase. Now, you can pick Gullydeckel as your 
engines. You are done.

5. For newer Gullydeckel versions: Get the (newer) windows binary (gully2.exe) and
copy it to gullydeckel.exe (see below - Note 3 a))


Additional notes:
1. If you have problems with that, drop me a mail at

gully@borriss.com

Gullydeckel will create a logfile "gully.log" in that folder
which may hint at problems.

2. Multi-variant mode is not supported yet.

3. Technical stuff: 
a) gullydeckel.exe is just the regular, but renamed, 
winboard chess engine gully2.exe which is will be updated
from time to time.  
b) gullydeckel.eng is the old adapter provided by 
Chessbase.


Have fun,
