Even grandmasters ask this question, much less amateurs, and if you think the answer is simple and clear, think again! In this video I show you the best engines for different purposes and at the end show many other top chess engines you probably never even heard of! I have advised amateurs and world champions over decades and share here my thought process and opinions on the matter.
ChessBase 17
Stockfish Engine
Leela Chess Zero
Power Fritz
CCRL (Computer Chess Ratings List)
Hi! I just wanna know what specs of laptop or pc is best for running chess engines
Are you the dude who "created" a chess engine entirely based in stockfish, hence your creation is no other thing than copy-paste-code forgery? What a shame for chessbase, a respectable site.
Chessbase certainly lives up to its promise. It just keeps the game alive and going. Obviously, it could probably crush you, but instead, it keeps the game competitive and fun. Stockfish has no mercy and will probably crush you in a few moves. Are chess engines killing chess? I mean, even a superhuman feat from Magnus Carlsen would not be enough to beat the top chess engines of the day like Stockfish and Leela, to name a few.
The best engine is, well, it depends on what you're intending to do.
But as far as the STRONGEST chess engine… that would be Stockfish 16, or one of its derivatives (as of August 2023).
Very Good my friend
Good vid. Very informative. Thumbs up.
Komodo Dragon deserves attention as well. Although it seems like it is not actively developed anymore.
