![]() It won’t help you much with openings or early game, you will still need to find and study an opening book or a general chess strategy book. It is an especially good learning tool in the mid-game and end-game. And it’s more fun because you win every time. ![]() I believe this to be the best way to learn to play good chess, maybe even better than human opponents. It is quite fascinating to watch a good computer play chess, because it will regularly sacrifice pieces and you will go “whaaat?”, and then of course you will figure it out and be amazed. The computer does always win of course, as it has stronger hardware and the best free chess engine, which is Stockfish. A 3 point advantage is usually enough for me to win. But since I have no chance at all on a new game against my phone (I believe even phones play grandmaster level these days - yikes), what I do is start a game between the phone and the computer, taking it (mostly) until the end, back-track to the decisive moves to where the computer starts getting an advantage, and then taking over on the phone to win. Stockfish Specific Commands (i.e.I have discovered a new addiction (oy vey - just what I needed □ ): playing chess against my phone. Note: there are other options available, but they really aren't useful without a gui (such as setting movestogo, winc, binc) Type 'go', followed by any number of commands: How to make a move from a specific fen position (using above example) How to set a Position with a specific fen stringĮ.g. In order to castle kingside, you must use the notation e1g1 (or e8g8), to castle queenside : e1c1 (e8c8) Note that you must use uci notation (a variant of long algebraic notation) of moves which only includes the square it comes from and square it goes to ![]() *Note: that the option name is case insensitive, so you could write instead : setoption name HaSh value 1024, and get the same results ![]() to change hash size to 1024 MB and use 2 threads, type the following into commandline: Step 4: How to change a supported UCI Option (Generic Formula) Sample output from stockfish 10 for reference: here The uci string always ends on a newline 'uciok' This also shows you the default setting for each parameter The Output, should provide the engine ID, version number, and author information, followed by a list of all supported uci options, such as Hash, Threads, MultiPV, Ponder, etc. Step 2: Type: isready (this step isn't necessary for stockfish, but some engines do (e.g. Step 1: Initiate your chess engine executable in command line (on mac/unix this is. If it is the later, this is a common question, which I will answer generically (to apply to any uci compatible chess engine), and at the end provide additional commands that are mostly exclusive to stockfish (which is in addition to standard uci protocol): Given your replies to other's comments, you either don't understand that uci parameters are command-line options, or you don't know how to use uci parameters / protocol in commandline?
