\fBstockfish\fP is an UCI chess engine, to calculate chess moves
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Stockfish is a free UCI chess engine derived from Glaurung 2.1. It is
|
||
|
|
not a complete chess program, but requires some UCI compatible GUI
|
||
|
|
(like XBoard with PolyGlot, eboard, Jose, Arena, in order to be used
|
||
|
|
comfortably. Read the documentation for your GUI of choice for information
|
||
|
|
about how to use Stockfish with your GUI.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
This version of Stockfish supports up to 8 CPUs, but has not been
|
||
|
|
tested thoroughly with more than 2. The program tries to detect the
|
||
|
|
number of CPUs on your computer and set the number of search threads
|
||
|
|
accordingly, but please be aware that the detection is not always
|
||
|
|
correct. It is therefore recommended to inspect the value of the
|
||
|
|
"Threads" UCI parameter, and to make sure it equals the number of CPU
|
||
|
|
cores on your computer. If you are using more than four threads, it
|
||
|
|
is recommended to raise the value of "Minimum Split Depth" UCI parameter
|
||
|
|
to 6.

||

|

|
|
Opening book
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
This version of stockfish has experimental support for PolyGlot opening
|
||
|
|
books. For information about how to create such books, consult the
|
||
|
|
PolyGlot documentation.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
.SH "OPTIONS"
|
||
|
|
This program does NOT follow the usual GNU command line syntax, with long options starting with two dashes.
|
||
|
|
.SH "SEE ALSO"
|
||
|
|
Communication with UCI commands is documented by
|
||
|
|
"The UCI Communication Protocol" in /usr/share/doc/stockfish/engine\-interface.txt.
