Fritz 15 Help
Private Users / Ignored Users
This adds users who you would like to allow to take part in your private analyses.
If you tick the box Only priv a t e use rs c a n se e t his e ngine only the users named here
can see the engine that is being offered.

It is also possible to prevent certain users from using the engine. To do this you have
to tick the box Ac t iv a t e ignore list .

Notes for the providers of public engines
When you first start to use Engine Cloud you should charge a very low amount for the
booking fee. This will assure that as many users as possible will try out your hardware/
software combination. You will definitely receive ducats for providing a cloud engine
when users decide to use the engine for a fixed price. In our opinion the first attempts
at offereing a Cloud Engine should be used to build up a good reputation among users,
who will then go on to make big analyses with the engines.
The server identifies the engine by the user name, the engine name and the hardware
key. The system calculates the average speed and sums up the positive ratings for
other users in the Likes column.

3.5.18.8 Summary of the auction system
It is important to understand the diffe re nc e be t w e e n t he prov ide rs a nd t he use rs in
the Engine Cloud system.
It is possible to be both a provider and a user at the same time.

Renting of a Cloud Engine for a fixed price
The booking fee plus a fixed price per minute has to be paid.
If a red symbol is at the beginning of the row the engine cannot be taken away
from the current user by outbidding him. den. Bids can still be made, but they will not
be accepted until the current gives up the engine or his maximum time runs out. If the
board window is open the engine starts to analyse this position automatically!
Normally there is a maximum time for renting the engine at the fixed price.
