Summary

Chess engines are invaluable tools for players at all levels, offering precise analysis of board positions and allowing users to test strategies and improve their game by automatically calculating potential moves. With a history dating back to the 1980s, these engines have evolved alongside advancements in computing, from early programs like Chessmaster to modern engines like StockDory. StockDory, a successor to the renowned StockFish, is notable for its rapid improvement rate and is freely available as open-source software under the LGPL-3.0 license. Users can easily set it up using a few commands from its GitHub page, where they can also find terms and conditions related to its use. As an official sponsor, the organization is committed to expanding StockDory's reach and offers support through Discord for setup or usage inquiries.
