  • InfluxDB - Power Real-Time Data Analytics at Scale
  • WorkOS - The modern identity platform for B2B SaaS
  • SaaSHub - Software Alternatives and Reviews
  • Stockfish

    A free and strong UCI chess engine

  • Stockfish isn't optimised around running on your laptop. Stockfish is optimised for general strength, be it on your laptop or supercomputer - it doesn't really matter. In fact some heuristics are definitely optimised for longer TCs, in general we try to optimise for the biggest time/move possible, just that it's really hard to do with limited hardware and tests requiring thousands of games to reach statistical signifficancy. For example : https://github.com/official-stockfish/Stockfish/commit/84b1940fcae95bb0a641dda9e85cb96f8c21cd22
