BEAUTIFUL DESIGN
Felt is in, flat is out. But seriously, Stockfish has some gorgeous 2D chess pieces that'll look fantastic on Retina Displays. Destination squares are highlighted in a transparent yellow when you click a piece. And you can go full screen for the most immersive chess experience.
TOP-NOTCH CHESS ANALYSIS
Stockfish is powered by the open source Stockfish chess engine, which is one of the strongest chess engines in the world. You're getting top-notch analysis that surpasses even the strongest human chess grandmasters.
ADVANCED FEATURES
If you're an advanced user, Stockfish has a few tricks up its sleeve. You can copy and paste FEN strings and open and save PGN files. And you can navigate through games and moves using the arrow keys on your keyboard.
SUPPORTS THE NEW MAC PRO
If you have a Mac Pro (or any Mac for that matter), the Stockfish engine can take full advantage of your hardware. Just open up the preferences and hit the "Optimize for Maximum Performance" button. Stockfish's analysis speed scales nearly linearly with the number of cores you dedicate to analysis.
FREE AND OPEN SOURCE
Stockfish is completely free, and the source code is available on our website (stockfishchess.org) under the GPLv3 license.
What's New
