The Engine Cloud: Free beta test for Fritz 13 owners

Post by Mike S. »

Owners of a Fritz 13 license and serial number respectively, have now the opportunity to participate in a beta test of a new, amazing Fritz feature:

The Engine Cloud

http://www.engine-cloud.com/

The download page (free download but requires a Fritz 13 license number to work) has the current file date, so you can see if a new beta is available. I was testing the version from May 14th today, and despite some minor details, it works fine. As for now, I saw that cloud engines can be used for analysis (incl. Let's Check analyses), and even in the machine room at Playchess.com. They appear in your GUI just like local engines.

The installation does not overwrite your Fritz 13 but creates an additional installation of that beta interface version.
Regards, Mike

Cool! Can't wait to give it a try.

Thanks
