How do I use Crafty with WinBoard?
First, you need to get Crafty and install it as a command-line application on your machine. See topic [F.3]. You must use the version of Crafty compiled for Win32 (wcrafty*.exe), not the version compiled for MS-DOS (crafty*.exe), and it is best to use the latest version of Crafty with the latest version of WinBoard to make sure all features are compatible and function correctly. You can install Crafty in any directory you like. You also need to get WinBoard and install it in the normal way using its built-in installer. You can do that either before or after you install Crafty. After both Crafty and WinBoard are installed separately, follow the directions in the WinBoard Help file (included with WinBoard) for connecting new chess engines to WinBoard. If you want to have Crafty act as an automated computer player on a chess server, see topic [D.16]. Before you try to get that working, be sure you can play against Crafty locally, first without WinBoard, then with it.
