I saw you have a note related to the start script for CR changed in KSM7u4, but not sure if it would be enough for me to copy the launch script into KSM6.
Any suggestion (other than upgrading to KSM8 ).
Frankly speaking, I cannot exactly remember what changes were introduced in which versions of pbchess. Important for the start script is that newer versions (i think starting with 2015.5) of pbchess are using two named pipes for internal communication, whereas previous versions used only one. KSM 07 update 4, and KSM 08 support only 2015.5 plus.
You could take for instance kbmenu\onstart\start_vlasovlauncher.sh of KSM 08 and try to adapt it to KSM 06.The script might for instance rely on some global variables that do not exist in KSM 06. Since you do it for you private purpose it might be easy to replace those global variables by hard coded values, since you know on which device model the script will be running, where you usually put your vlasovsoft folder, and so on.

The most simple way however is to install KSM 08, I guess. And it comes with some additional advantages.
