![]() The last Glaurung version (2.2) was released in December 2008.Īround 2011, Romstad decided to abandon his involvement with Stockfish in order to spend more time on his new iOS chess app. 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 more advanced engine at the time. The first version, Stockfish 1.0, was released in November 2008. He named it Stockfish because it was "produced in Norway and cooked in Italy" (Romstad is Norwegian, Costalba is Italian). Four years later, Costalba, inspired by the strong open-source engine, decided to fork the project. The program originated from Glaurung, an open-source chess engine created by Romstad and first released in 2004. In 2018 support for the 7-men Syzygy was added, shortly after becoming available. The Syzygy tablebase support, previously available in a fork maintained by Ronald de Man, was integrated into Stockfish in 2014. Stockfish supports Chess960, which is one feature that was inherited from Glaurung. As of December 2021, Stockfish 14 (4-threaded) achieves an Elo rating of 3544 +20 Compared to other engines, it is characterized by its great search depth, due in part to more aggressive pruning, and late move reductions. ![]() Stockfish implements an advanced alpha–beta search and uses bitboards. The maximal size of its transposition table is 32 TB. Stockfish can use up to 512 CPU threads in multiprocessor systems.
