Spirit 100825 - new chess engine by Solista (Stockfish derivatives)



Spirit 100825 - new chess engine by Solista (Stockfish derivatives)


Author: This version includes all Stockfish updates from August 9, 2025. I use Spirit mainly for normal middlegame analysis under CB 18, and I use the multi-variation mode with 3 variations.
Spirit's search is almost entirely based on SF dev., but its dynamic zero-move reduction is based on CorChess and is less selective. In my opinion, this leads to slightly better results in analyses, although I'm not concerned with whether solutions are solved in seconds; the overall picture is what matters to me. CorChess has an even broader search than Spirit. I recommend testing it yourself and finding out what you like best. Omega is ideal for me because it's less calculating and tactically extremely strong, even with short thinking times.
