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 engine list,
together with the other UCI and native chess 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.

Set UCI Priority
The program was conceived as a multi-engine chess program and allows many
different chess engines to be integrated. The user interface and the chess program
itself are strictly separated and communicate with one another via a standard
interface. Many chess engines can be downloaded from the Internet that use the UCI
protocol. UCI is a protocol that was devised by Stefan Meyer-Kahlen and stands for
Universal Chess Interfacet.
The program fully supports engines that use the UCI protocol. The menu Engine
Cre a t e UCI Engine opens a dialog to integrate a UCI engine.
The installation is carried out via an intuitive dialog.
The program must first be told where the UCI engine has been stored on the
computer. The button "Browse" opens a folder tree that can be used to select the
folder which contains the engine.
After the path has been selected the fields "Name" and "Author" are automatically
filled, as long as the engine contains this data. There is a button entitled "Parameters"
which can be used to alter the engine’s playing style.
In Fritz there is a new parameter to determine the priority of a UCI engine. What does
it mean if the priority is set to lower?
