Stockfish is a powerful chess engine that uses computer algorithms to play chess. It is one of the strongest chess engines in the world and has won numerous computer chess tournaments.
Stockfish uses a technique called alpha-beta pruning to efficiently search through the possible moves and counter-moves in a chess game. This technique involves exploring different possible moves and their resulting positions, evaluating each position based on a number of factors such as piece values, pawn structure, and king safety, and then selecting the move that leads to the best position.
The evaluation function used by Stockfish is based on a variety of heuristics and statistical analysis of chess games. This allows it to quickly and accurately evaluate the strength of a position, and adjust its search accordingly.
Stockfish also uses a number of advanced search algorithms such as principal variation search (PVS) and transposition table to further improve its search efficiency and accuracy.
Stockfish is written in C++ and is available as open-source software under the GNU General Public License. It can be used as a standalone command-line program, or integrated into graphical user interfaces (GUIs) such as ChessBase, Arena, and others.
