Summary: Chess engine
Stockfish is a UCI chess engine derived from Glaurung 2.1. It is not a
complete chess program, but requires some UCI compatible GUI (like XBoard with
PolyGlot, eboard, Arena, Sigma Chess, Shredder, Chess Partner or Fritz) in
order to be used comfortably. Read the documentation for your GUI of choice for
information about how to use Stockfish with your GUI.

Changelog

* Mon Feb 26 2024 Michael Vetter <mvetter@suse.com>
  - Update to 16.1:
    * In our testing against its predecessor, Stockfish 16.1 shows a
      notable improvement in performance, with an Elo gain of up to
      27 points and winning over 2 times more game pairs than it loses.
    * Updated neural network architecture: The neural network architecture
      has undergone two updates and is currently in its 8th version.
    * Removal of handcrafted evaluation (HCE): This release marks the
      removal of the traditional handcrafted evaluation and the transition
      to a fully neural network-based approach.
    * Dual NNUE: For the first time, Stockfish includes a secondary neural
      network, used to quickly evaluate positions that are easily decided.
    * Use NNUE and UCI_AnalyseMode have been removed as they no longer had
      any effect. SlowMover has also been removed in favor of Move Overhead.
  - Use %autosetup macro. Allows to eliminate the usage of deprecated PatchN.
* Tue Dec 06 2022 Michael Vetter <mvetter@suse.com>
  - Update to 15.1:
    * Elo gain and competition results:
      With this release, version 5 of the NNUE neural net architecture
      has been introduced, and the training data has been extended to
      include Fischer random chess (FRC) positions. As a result, Elo
      gains are largest for FRC, reaching up to 50 Elo for doubly
      randomized FRC (DFRC). More importantly, also for standard chess
      this release progressed and will win two times more game pairs than
      it loses against Stockfish 15.
    * New evaluation:
      This release also introduces a new convention for the evaluation
      that is reported by search. An evaluation of +1 is now no longer
      tied to the value of one pawn, but to the likelihood of winning the
      game. With a +1 evaluation, Stockfish has now a 50% chance of winning
      the game against an equally strong opponent. This convention scales
      down evaluations a bit compared to Stockfish 15 and allows for
      consistent evaluations in the future.
  - Refresh:
    * date.patch
    * stockfish-remove-net.patch
  - Remove nn-6877cd24400e.nnue
  - Add nn-ad9b42354671.nnue
  - Keep man page and stockfish-interface.txt but remove URL from

* Wed Apr 20 2022 Michael Vetter <mvetter@suse.com>
  - Update to 15:
    Stockfish 15 continues to push the boundaries of chess, providing
    unrivalled analysis and playing strength. In our testing, Stockfish
    15 is ahead of Stockfish 14 by 36 Elo points and wins nine times
    more game pairs than it loses.
  - Add stockfish-remove-net.patch: Don't try to donwload nnue
    we already have it.
* Sun Mar 27 2022 Dirk Müller <dmueller@suse.com>
  - update to 14.1:
    Compared to Stockfish 14, this release introduces a more advanced NNUE
    architecture and various search improvements. In self play testing, using a
    book of balanced openings, Stockfish 14.1 wins three times more game pairs than
    it loses. At this high level, draws are very common, so the Elo difference to
    Stockfish 14 is about 17 Elo
* Fri Jul 09 2021 Stephan Kulow <coolo@suse.com>
  - Update to version 14:
    The engine is now significantly stronger than just a few months
    ago, and wins four times more game pairs than it loses against
    the previous release version.
    Stockfish 14 is now at least 400 Elo ahead of Stockfish 7, a
    top engine in 2016. During the last five years, Stockfish has thus
    gained about 80 Elo per year.
  - Refresh date.patch
