Hi Christian,
well, I have emailed it already to you, but:
//-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
// Quark - initalisation file
// here you can adjust some features
// Very important is that after every option follows a blank and then the
// adjustment - else Quark will not understand what you mean
// not understanded commands here will be ignored
//-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
// Option hash
// hash 1 - 1 MB Hashtable
// hash 2 - 2 MB Hashtable
// hash 4 - 4 MB Hashtable
// hash 8 - 8 MB Hashtable
// hash 16 - 16 MB Hashtable
// same for 32/64/128/256/512... --> Only these numbers are allowded... If you enter
// others, Quark will go down to the next legal
// In Blitz games too big hashtables will decrease it's strength but it is so
// far not all tested
// If the option is NOT set, Quark will use 1 MB Hashtable standard
hash 64
// Option pawnhash
// allowded are values from 1-8 --> Quark will take the next lower
// allowded number, standard is 1
pawnhash 8
// Option evalhash
// allowded are values from 1,2,4,8,16 & 32 --> Quark will take the next lower
// allowded number, standard is 4
evalhash 32
// resign:
// resign off - Quark plays until game is finished
// resign xxx - When there is 6 times long a position which is worser than -xxx
// centipawns, Quark will resign
// example: resign 1000 - will resign if Quark is as long as 6 moves more
// then 10.00 pawns down...
resign 1000
// Book:
// Which book should Quark use: book standard.bkf is for the standard Quark-book
// if the book is not found Quark will use NO book ! Same when the option is
// NOT set
// book d:\schach\quark\QuarkLeoN5.bk1
// book 2600aotest.bk1
// Bookstyle
// bookstyle strong - only the strongest moves are taken if there any
// bookstyle normal - All bookmoves are used if they are not marked as
// not so good for the engine - but more often the strongest
// bookstyle wide - Quark plays all oppening where it has at least one draw behind
// bookstyle weird - Quark will play randomly any move that is in book
bookstyle strong
// TBpath path
// Here you have to define the path to the Nalimov-Tablebases, if not defined
// or there are no tablebases, the usage of them is turned off
TBpath d:\schach\nalimov
// TBcache size
// Here you can define the size of the internal TBCache in Megabytes...
// Standard size is 2 MB, which is enough for 4-piece-TBs... for 5-pieces you
// can experiment with 8 MB or 16 MB
TBcachesize 16
// Logging
// Three posibilities to adjust Quarks logging:
// log off (standard) no logging at all
// log on With every start of Quark a new Quark.log is created, old one is deleted
// log app Old Quark.log is not deleted, new Logging-Informations are stored at the end of Quark.log
log app
// Noise
// with this value you can adjust how many nodes Quark must have searched to output any
// PV-information... Standard is 10000
noise 100000
summary
//-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

Greets, Thomas

Outch,
of course you must turn on the book at some point:
book d:\schach\quark\QuarkLeoN5.bk1
-> So remove the two '\' there...
Greets, Thomas
