Hi folks,

Have any of you come across and solved this "chess puzzle?"

When trying to add Stockfish to Fritz 12 as a UCI engine (create UCI engine), I always get "the requested operation requires elevation" and cannot proceed.

I tried googling everywhere but it seems NOWHERE on the entire Internet has anyone discussed "the requested operation requires elevation" + "fritz" (or even "UCI").

I tried to change permissions for everything, the entire Chessbase folder, the Stockfish EXE file, etc. using some Windows permission editing tips I found on some technical site (I am not concerned about security, this is a Windows 10 machine I just use for chess stuff).

Help.

I checkmated it! For anyone else who encounters this problem... haha, I had downloaded the wrong Stockfish version for my CPU family. Check the CPU specifications and release date (mine was from 2012). Now everything is working great.
