Chess engines such as Stockfish can calculate moves with significant depth making them handy for figuring out the best responses to your opponents moves. To become any good at chess, you’ll need to become familiar with common patterns and learn to respond to them accurately. According to CEGT, Stockfish 14 is about 700 Elo points ahead of the current Chess champ, Magnus Carlsen. The boost in its rating largely came from the inclusion of an Efficiently Updatable Neural Network (NNUE) and its subsequent refining with help from the team behind the LCZero chess engine team.
This version of Stockfish has a rating 338 Elo points ahead of Stockfish 8 which famously lost against Alphabet’s AlphaZero.
