Engine Parameters: Many engines have options that influence the way they play.
Clear Hashtable: This initialises the hash tables, clearing results that might be
contained from previous evaluations. Only important for experts.
Hashtable size: This tells the engine how much temporary memory it has to store
evaluations.
Use Tablebases: If endgame tablebases have been installed the program can play the
best moves from the tablebases without using the engine, as long as a position with
five or less pieces is on the board.
Smart CPU Usage
A deep engine starts on a computer with hyperthreading (i7 4 Cores + 4
Hyperthreading) with only 4 Threads/Processors. On a computer without
hyperthreading (i5, AMD) it starts with n-1 Threads/Processors. If this option is turned
off it runs as in older versions.
Exception: The user has defined the number of threads/processors explicitly, for
instance by defining a UCI engine.
Cloud loads the main window of Engine Cloud so that you can load cloud engines.
If you select an engine in the list that has been defined as not the standard engine
the tick before the engine's name is removed.
Note: UCI engines can also be used as the standard engine in ChessBase.
Select Default Engine
The default engine is the engine that is used as the analysis engine in the board
window with the keys Alt-F2.
M e nu F ile - Opt ions - Engine
This is the easiest way to set the Default engine.
In the engine dialog the default engine can be selected.
Select on of the engines in the engine list and check the box marked Default Engine. If
you select an engine in the list which is not the default engine the tick will be removed
from the box.
