What is chess engine?

1/18/2017

Chess engine is just a computer software. It can have graphic user interface (GUI), or can work without an GUI. Basically it knows how to read in chess notations, do deep calculation and spit out chess moves. It can be very dummy, as it was 10 years ago, or very advanced. The strongest engine is way above any human being, rated above 3000.

A few famous engines are: Komodo, Houdini, Fritz, and Stockfish (which is freeware).

Strength of an engine does not only depend on its algorithm and its game database, but also depends on how it uses the powerful hardware efficiently.

There is also an engine competition: TCEC (Top Chess Engine Championship). Stockfish 8 was the champion of the latest season 9.

I'm very interested in using this Chess engine you speak of. I have played Chess before and I find it really entertaining. I know quite a few people who would be interested in this application. I hope that you can show a link of the engine. I wish to know more useful chess applications from you.
