Stockfish 12 Is Out


     Stockfish 12 was released yesterday. This version of Stockfish plays significantly stronger than any of its predecessors. In a match against Stockfish 11, Stockfish 12 will typically win at least ten times more game pairs than it loses. 
     On the CCLR (Computer Chess Rating Lists) 40/15 list Stockfish is still the number one rated. 
     Note that downloads are available for different processors and if you don't know which one to use, the site says to download all six and keep trying them out until you fond one that doesn't crash. Download from SITE
 
 Note: In case you are not sure which download to use, if it helps, on my old laptop running Windows 8, I had to use the SSE4.1 + POPCNT for Intel processors after ~2008, AMD processors after ~2007. On the newer laptop running Windows 10 the BMI2 for Intel processors after ~2013 works.
