3.11.9.10 Revenue
Supplying a chess engine costs money, for instance for the electricity used. The
section Revenue determines how much users must pay the provider for using his
engine.
The Booking F e e is charged whenever an engine is used. It is possible to set this value
to zero.
The M inim um pe r M inut e is the lowest price for which a user can use the engine.
Other users can bid more than this amount at any time.
The F ixe d Ra t e (Reliable Rate) is a higher rate at which bidding auctions are no longer
allowed. Other users cannot take control of the Cloud Engine by bidding more. Users
pay the F ixe d Ra t e when there is a high demand for engines on the Engine Cloud
server.
