**[[Home]] * [[Engines]] * Stockfish** || [[image:Lofoten_Reine_Stockfish.jpg link="http://www.bestnorwegian.com/lofoten.html"]] ||~ || **Stockfish**, an [[UCI]] compatible [[Open Source Engines|open source]] chess engine developed by [[Tord Romstad]], [[Marco Costalba]], [[Joona Kiiski]], and [[Gary Linscott]] <ref>[[http://www.talkchess.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=58779|Stockfish 7]] by [[Joona Kiiski]], [[CCC]], January 02, 2016</ref> . Marco forked the project from version 2.1 of Tord's strong engine [[Glaurung]], first announced by Marco in November 8, 2008 <ref>[[http://www.talkchess.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=24675|Stockfish 1.0]] by [[Marco Costalba]], [[CCC]], November 02, 2008</ref> , and in early 2009 Joona's [[Smaug]], a further Glaurung 2.2 derivative, was incorporated <ref>[[http://www.talkchess.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=26971&start=1|Re: Smaug: a new chess engine based on glaurung]] by [[Marco Costalba]], [[CCC]], March 12, 2009</ref> . Starting out among the top twenty engines, Stockfish has quickly climbed in [[Playing Strength|strength]]. The name "Stockfish" reflects the ancestry of the engine. Tord is Norwegian and Marco Italian, and there is a long history of [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stockfish|stockfish]] trade from Norway to Italy (to Marco's home town of [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vicenza|Vicenza]], in fact). Stockfish also references another famous "little fish", [[Rybka]]. || || Stockfish in [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reine|Reine]], [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lofoten|Lofoten]] <ref>[[http://www.bestnorwegian.com/lofoten.html|Lofoten - Seeing is believing - The fisheries]]</ref> ||~ ||^ || [[toc]] =Science versus Commerce?= There is a wide range of opinions about strong open source chess engines affecting commercial and competitive interests, as well as monetary interests from computer chess users, who obtain a top engine for free. The scientific and social value of strong open source programs is indisputable. The [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Teamwork|teamwork]] effort to share ideas and knowledge to write one of the strongest programs, which everybody may follow and share to learn and play for free, is definitely a challenging and motivating task, gathering both admiration and enviousness. Obviously, professional programmers of commercial chess programs are not that enthusiastic about the development, and need to improve further and/or focus more on secondary features or other business concepts like on-line play and/or [[GUI|user interface]] issues rather than on pure playing strength. Also many hobbyist chess programmers feel in antagonism as well, not only caused by Stockfish with its highly respected authors, and before by [[Fruit]] and slightly [[Crafty]], but from [[Ippolit]] and all its successors by pseudonymous authors and disputed origin. The implications on commercial and competitive computer chess are not quite clear, but presumably the decrease in number of participants of over the board [[Tournaments|tournaments]] will progress and [[Clones|clone]] suspicions may float like a [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Damocles|Sword of Damocles]] over the scene, whether programmers took ideas too literally or not. [[#TestingFramework]][[#Fishtest]] =Fishtest= The Stockfish Testing Framework called **Fishtest** <ref>[[https://github.com/glinscott/fishtest|glinscott/fishtest · GitHub]]</ref> is a web application written by [[Gary Linscott]] <ref>[[http://stockfishchess.org/get-involved/|Get Involved - Stockfish - Powerful Open Source Chess Engine]]</ref> <ref>[[http://www.talkchess.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=47885|Fishtest Distributed Testing Framework]] by [[Marco Costalba]], [[CCC]], May 01, 2013</ref> mainly in [[Python]] under the //Pyramid Application Development Framework// <ref>[[http://docs.pylonsproject.org/projects/pyramid/en/latest/|The Pyramid Web Framework — The Pyramid Web Framework v1.5]]</ref> , to distribute games across different machines to reduce the test latency and increment throughput. Started in early 2013 with Stockfish 3.0, Fishtest has hundreds of contributors, as of May 2014, 744 testers and 52 developers <ref>[[http://tests.stockfishchess.org/users|Stockfish Testing Framework - Users]]</ref> active in testing ideas and tweaks <ref>[[http://tests.stockfishchess.org/tests|Stockfish Testing Framework]]</ref> , to make Stockfish the strongest open source or even chess program of the world <ref>[[http://adamsccpages.blogspot.com/p/sf-framework-history.html|Adam's Computer Chess Pages: Stockfish Progression]] by [[Adam Hair]]</ref> .
