    There is a server that automatically compiles the latest stockfish binaries to save users the hassle https://abrok.eu/stockfish/ also if you aren’t a chessbase guy I really recommend nibbler as a gui https://github.com/rooklift/nibbler I switched to it two years ago and love it

    for #1 lichess is really good, if you want to analyze locally I recommend nibbler as a gui https://github.com/rooklift/nibbler which can be used with stockfish or any other uci engine

  • any free chess SW?
    1 project | /r/chess | 6 Sep 2022
    you can use lichess if you dont want to download anything, but I would recommend stockfish or leela and nibbler (https://github.com/rooklift/nibbler) for the GUI
  • Is there "any" human-like computer?

    I use nibbler https://github.com/rooklift/nibbler, well using the largest net will be the strongest adversary if thats what you want. An elo somewhere around 2500~ so a smaller or older net may be a better sparring partner. Since there is such a range of nets in every point of training progression you can find one which is almost exactly equal to you.

    Some GUIs like Nibbler support WDL and enable it by default. It's very easy to use.
  • How does one prep with an engine?
    1 project | /r/chessbeginners | 27 Jun 2022
    Use lichess. If you really want a gui and have a good computer you could consider using Nibbler ( https://github.com/rooklift/nibbler ) with leela (Lc0) or stockfish.

  • Fastest Chess Engine
    1 project | /r/AnarchyChess | 6 Jun 2021
    Nope you can download it. I’d even recommend using leela too. If your looking for a speed, I find she can understand a position better then stockfish can (assuming you have a decent gpu). Try downloading nibbler from here https://github.com/rooklift/nibbler/releases/tag/v2.1.6 and stockfish from here https://stockfishchess.org/download/ . If you need help setting it up or want to see what it looks like pm me
