Stockfish 17.1 wins Elite Engines Test by Chess Engines Diary, 12.09.2026

 


Stockfish 17.1 has claimed victory in a recent tournament for top-tier chess engines. Surprised? Not really, as we don’t think it’s seen any major boost in playing strength since its release. Stockfish 20260825 Ivec came in second, with Halogen 16.8.0 securing third place.
