A few thoughts came across about playing in CB's engine room, I have a few questions(if this is a good place to ask):
- Is it possible to bridge the engine with InBetween(since the CB client is Windows only)?
- Does it properly handle engine options(i.e. Syzygy, local books)?
- Where does the hardware specs come from in case of using a bridge?
- What minimum subscription is needed to play games there, starter or premium, or something else?

Re: ChessBase questions
I've been looking at this recently myself. At least for your 4th question people are claiming that if you create a new account here that you get 3 months for free of access to the Engine Room (but you might need a Fritz GUI to change "Playing Mode" to computer), but I haven't checked it yet.
Your beliefs create your reality, so be careful what you wish for.

Re: ChessBase questions
Yes, indeed.
- It is possible to bridge, but Threads, Hash settings are messed up(due to it does not see the actual machine), so I hard-coded them in the engine.
- No, same as above, hard-coded it.
- It shows wrong hardware specs and no place to change it.
- I have created a new account and it does come with 3 months of free access. I still need to use a full GUI(not the one from free download) to use engines.
