Sting

a Stockfish derivative by Marek Kwiatkowski with the aim to solve difficult positions such as zugzwangs, "longer" sacrifices, and to detect fortress positions. It was first released in December 2011 based on Stockfish **2.1.1**, so far until Sting **8.8** in October 2017 still based on that Stockfish version. || toc =See also=
