In the Cloud Analysis one engine works continually evaluating the candidate moves of
the initial position. Another engine (the "analysis crawler") makes these candidate
moves and generates a variation tree. Unlike the Deep Analysis (see above) the
controlling engine accepts the candidate moves in every iteration without losing any
time.
It is also possible for several engines to evaluate replies to the candidate moves
simultaneously. These replies will also be accepted without any delay. These engines
work non-stop, and they will only start again when the candidate moves change. By
doing this you can build your own cluster.
During the Cloud Analysis it is possible to add other engines to the cloud without
interrupting the analysis.
They automatically take over the correct roles. If cloud engines stop running the
analysis will continue as long as at least one local engine is still running.
If engines are loaded in advance their roles can be configured. It is more useful to
work with different candidate engines so that the analysis is not identical.
Cloud Analysis with locally stored chess engines
You can use this analysis without cloud engines if you have a powerful computer with
several chess installed.
