Can engine matches be carried out with Cloud Engines?
Yes. Engine Cloud offers an interesting type of autoplayer. You can load both
engines from the Engine Cloud server, or you can load one engine to play against a
local engine on your own computer. The Cloud Engines can be used for test suites,
permanent analysis on the Let’s Check server or in the Machine Room on
Playchess.com. If you use a Cloud Engine in this way you should use a fixed price.
This makes sure that you will not be outbid and will be able to continue using the
engine. If you lost an engine by being outbid you would lose a game.
3.11.9.2 Providers of Cloud Engines
Can an engine be offered just to a small group of users?
In the engine settings there is section for „Private Users“. Here you can list the
users who are allowed to access your engine.
What do the stars in the „Experience“ column mean?
This shows how often a provider’s engine has been used.
The number of stars is based on the number of times it has been used, the number
of different users, the number of Likes and the ducats that have been earned.
What price should I ask for my system configuration?
The price is decided by supply and demand. You should start off by offering your
Cloud Engine free of charge. This will allow you to gather experiences and decide
on a suitable price.
