  Play a bit against the Chess Engine https://stockfishchess.org/ if you want to get an idea about what an elite chess player can do. Source: 10 months ago

• The Q&A Megathread for new and beginner chess players

  So if you want to play against Stockfish, play against it. And in fact I would recommend not playing it on chess.com or Lichess with their artificial crippling levels. Download Stockfish, put it on a GUI and play it full strength and have fun getting utterly demolished. Source: about 1 year ago

• Is ChessBase really that necessary?

  For us mortals I suggest SCIDvsPC https://scidvspc.sourceforge.net/ and CaissaBase http://caissabase.co.uk/ (4.8million games) then add Stockfish https://stockfishchess.org/ for analysis. Source: about 1 year ago

• Any good chess programs

  Just to analyze positions in general, you can use the analysis boards on websites, and I'd recommend also having an offline chess GUI running Stockfish. You can sometimes go deeper and fiddle with more things. My recommendations are Scid vs. PC or PyChess. You would need to download Stockfish too, as the built-in ones are a bit oudated.

• Generating Chess Puzzles with Genetic Algorithms

  How can we know that there’s exactly one good move? We can use the open source chess engine Stockfish. Our python-chess library actually has support for communicating with an engine like Stockfish.

• 4 year old can semi-functionally play chess, now what?

  I taught my son right around his 4th birthday. We played a little and he was just like your son - really just moving pieces because he can, not because it's a good idea. But he went and downloaded Stockfish 15 (https://stockfishchess.org/), and played with it regularly. Fast forward 2 years and he comes and says "daddy can we play chess?" Sure. We start to play and he's playing with purpose - thinking about why... Source: almost 2 years ago

• A lot of high quality games are going on at Candidates. This is not one of them but i forced Stockfish to take En passant.

  A GM level player with lots of ELOs. Plays lots of games. Doesn't really do much beyond play Chess. They say he or she plays for free.

• stockfish lvl 8 (the highest on lichess) just played the Halloween gambit against me? Why on earth would it do this?

• chess game made with pygame

  Well, creating a chess AI all by myself is a feat I wouldn't be able to accomplish -maybe yet-. So I used a pre-made engine called Stockfish, which I am pretty sure that you are familiar with. I then used a module named after the engine itself that integrates the engine with python and provides a very abstract model to work with. In short, no; I did not write a chess AI from scratch. I would love to do so in the... Source: about 2 years ago

• Is pathfinding considered Artificial Intelligence?

  Chess algorithms use clever heuristics and some brute force to find best moves and today, Stockfish is the world's best chess engine and outplays Magnus Carlson, the world's best chess player (and considered by many to be the best of all time). But intelligent? Not really, but it used to be viewed as an AI problem. Stockfish recently introduced a simple feedforward neural net, but it's accompanied by traditional... Source: about 2 years ago
