  1. How to use chess engines such as Stockfish and Komodo for analysis (full,blunder and deep) and using the proper settings, what websites would you recommend?

    ReplyDelete
    Replies
    1. you could download Arena 3.5 (www.playwitharena.com) and then when you have installed it you can then, install your engines all of them, www.chesslogik.com (for example) and also all the UCI chess engines you can find here or anywhere else.

New chess engine: HypnoS 240324 (derived from Stockfish)

  HypnoS is a free and strong UCI chess engine derived from Stockfish  that analyzes chess positions and computes the optimal moves. HypnoS does not include a graphical user interface (GUI) that is required  to display a chessboard and to make it easy to input moves. These GUIs are  developed independently from HypnoS and are available online. HypnoS development is currently supported on the Openbench framework. OpenBench (created by Andrew Grant) is an open-source Sequential Probability Ratio Testing (SPRT) framework designed for self-play testing of engines. OpenBench makes use of distributed computing, allowing anyone to contribute CPU time to further the development of some of the world's most powerful engines. HypnoS 240324 download
