Stockfish (Chess)
Stockfish (Chess)
Stockfish uses a tree-search algorithm based on alpha–beta search with several hand-designed heuristics,
and since Stockfish 12 (2020) uses an efficiently updatable neural network as its evaluation function. It
represents positions using bitboards.[13]
Stockfish supports Chess960, a feature it inherited from Glaurung.[14] Support for Syzygy tablebases,
previously available in a fork maintained by Ronald de Man, was integrated into Stockfish in 2014.[15] In
2018 support for the 7-man Syzygy was added, shortly after the tablebase was made available. Stockfish
supports up to 1024 CPU threads in multiprocessor systems, with a maximum transposition table size of
32 TB.[16]
Stockfish has been a very popular engine on various platforms. On desktop, it is the default chess engine
bundled with the Internet Chess Club interface programs BlitzIn and Dasher. On mobile, it has been
bundled with the Stockfish app, SmallFish and Droidfish. Other Stockfish-compatible graphical user
interfaces (GUIs) include Fritz, Arena, Stockfish for Mac, and PyChess.[17][18] Stockfish can be compiled
to WebAssembly or JavaScript, allowing it to run in the browser. Both Chess.com and Lichess provide
Stockfish in this form in addition to a server-side program.[19] Release versions and development
versions are available as C++ source code and as precompiled versions for Microsoft Windows, macOS,
Linux 32-bit/64-bit and Android.
History
The program originated from Glaurung, an open-source chess engine created by Tord Romstad and first
released in 2004. Four years later, Marco Costalba forked the project, naming it Stockfish because it was
"produced in Norway and cooked in Italy" (Romstad is Norwegian and Costalba is Italian). The first
version, Stockfish 1.0, was released in November 2008.[20][21] For a while, new ideas and code changes
were transferred between the two programs in both directions, until Romstad decided to discontinue
Glaurung in favor of Stockfish, which was the stronger engine at the time.[22] The last Glaurung version
(2.2) was released in December 2008.
Around 2011, Romstad decided to abandon his involvement with Stockfish in order to spend more time
on his new iOS chess app.[23] On 18 June 2014 Marco Costalba announced that he had "decided to step
down as Stockfish maintainer" and asked that the community create a fork of the current version and
continue its development.[24] An official repository, managed by a volunteer group of core Stockfish
developers, was created soon after and currently manages the development of the project.[25]
Fishtest
Since 2013, Stockfish has been developed using a distributed testing framework named Fishtest, where
volunteers can donate CPU time for testing improvements to the program.[26][27][28]
Changes to game-playing code are accepted or rejected based on results of playing of tens of thousands of
games on the framework against an older "reference" version of the program, using sequential probability
ratio testing. Tests on the framework are verified using the chi-squared test, and only if the results are
statistically significant are they deemed reliable and used to revise the software code.
After the inception of Fishtest, Stockfish experienced an explosive growth of 120 Elo points in just 12
months, propelling it to the top of all major rating lists.[29]
As of February 2025, the framework has used a total of more than 16,700 years of CPU time to play over
8.7 billion chess games.[30]
NNUE
In June 2020, Stockfish introduced the efficiently updatable neural
network (NNUE) approach, based on earlier work by computer
shogi programmers.[31][32] Instead of using manually designed
heuristics to evaluate the board, this approach introduced a neural
network trained on millions of positions which could be evaluated
quickly on CPU. On 2 September 2020, the twelfth version of
Stockfish was released, incorporating NNUE, and reportedly
winning ten times more game pairs than it loses when matched Stockfish's NNUE visualized
Competition results
On 30 May 2014, Stockfish 170514 (a development version of Stockfish 5 with tablebase support)
convincingly won TCEC Season 6, scoring 35.5–28.5 against Komodo 7x in the Superfinal.[37] Stockfish
5 was released the following day.[38] In TCEC Season 7, Stockfish again made the Superfinal, but lost to
Komodo with a score of 30.5–33.5.[37] In TCEC Season 8, despite losses on time caused by buggy code,
Stockfish nevertheless qualified once more for the Superfinal, but lost 46.5–53.5 to Komodo.[37] In
Season 9, Stockfish defeated Houdini 5 with a score of 54.5–45.5.[37][39]
Stockfish finished third during season 10 of TCEC, the only season since 2013 in which Stockfish had
failed to qualify for the superfinal. It did not lose a game but was still eliminated because it was unable to
score enough wins against lower-rated engines. After this technical elimination, Stockfish went on a long
winning streak, winning seasons 11 (59–41 against Houdini 6.03),[37][40] 12 (60–40 against Komodo
12.1.1),[37][41] and 13 (55–45 against Komodo 2155.00)[37][42] convincingly.[43] In Season 14, Stockfish
faced a new challenger in Leela Chess Zero, ekeing out a win by one point (50.5–49.5).[37][44] Its
winning streak was finally ended in Season 15, when Leela qualified again and won 53.5–46.5,[37] but
Stockfish promptly won Season 16, defeating AllieStein 54.5–45.5, after Leela failed to qualify for the
Superfinal.[37] In Season 17, Stockfish faced Leela again in the superfinal, losing 52.5–47.5. However,
Stockfish has won every Superfinal since: beating Leela 53.5–46.5 in Season 18, 54.5–45.5 in Season 19,
53–47 in Season 20, and 56–44 in Season 21.[37] In Season 22, Komodo Dragon beat out Leela to qualify
for the Superfinal, losing to Stockfish by a large margin 59.5-40.5. Stockfish did not lose an opening pair
in this match.[45] Leela made the Superfinal in Seasons 23 and 24, but was crushed by Stockfish both
times (58.5-41.5 and 58-42).[46][47] In Season 25, Stockfish once again defeated Leela, but this time by a
narrower margin of 52-48.[48]
Stockfish also took part in the TCEC cup, winning the first edition, but was surprisingly upset by Houdini
in the semifinals of the second edition.[37][49] Stockfish recovered to beat Komodo in the third-place
playoff.[37] In the third edition, Stockfish made it to the finals, but was defeated by Leela Chess Zero
after blundering in a 7-man endgame tablebase draw. It turned this result around in the fourth edition,
defeating Leela in the final 4.5–3.5.[37] In TCEC Cup 6, Stockfish finished third after losing to AllieStein
in the semifinals, the first time it had failed to make the finals. Since then, Stockfish has consistently won
the tournament, with the exception of the 11th edition which Leela won 8.5-7.5.

Other matches
AlphaZero's victory over Stockfish sparked a flurry of activity in the computer chess community, leading
to a new open-source engine aimed at replicating AlphaZero, known as Leela Chess Zero. By January
2019, Leela was able to defeat the version of Stockfish that played AlphaZero (Stockfish 8) in a 100-
game match. An updated version of Stockfish narrowly defeated Leela Chess Zero in the superfinal of the
14th TCEC season, 50.5–49.5 (+10 =81 −9),[37] but lost the Superfinal of the next season to Leela 53.5–
46.5 (+14 =79 -7).[37][190] The two engines remained close in strength for a while, but Stockfish has
pulled away since the introduction of NNUE, winning every TCEC season since Season 18.
