  1. Download and save

    Download the Windows bridge and keep it in a folder you can find again, such as C:\Engines.

  2. Add the bridge

    ChessBase: Home → Engines → Create UCI Engine. Select MyNovelty-Cloud.exe, then choose OK.

    Windows file picker open to C:\Engines with MyNovelty-Cloud.exe selected
    Select MyNovelty-Cloud.exe

  3. Start MyNovelty Cloud

    Home → Add Kibitzer → MyNovelty Cloud. Sign in once if your browser opens. Lines and depth mean you are ready.

Analyzing on another device

Your cloud engine runs one live analysis at a time. Open the same account in a browser or on your phone and analysis moves there — the ChessBase evaluation goes blank. A blank eval means “not analyzing here,” not a crash. To bring it back, play a move or pick another position in ChessBase; the engine reconnects in a few seconds.
