Playing games

You can use any Cloud Engine as an opponent when you are playing a game against the computer.

The menu Engine – Open Cloud Engines opens the main window of the Engine Cloud server. Choose and load one of the Cloud Engines. After you have made a bid and confirmed that you want to use the engine you can play a game against the Cloud Engine.

Real game

By using Engine Cloud you can use top engines with enormous processing power even on a relatively slow computer.
