Owner Reviews, Ratings, Comments and Criticism
The positive trait of this system is the easy of engine update. I bought it with the 1.8 version of Stockfishk, then donwloaded the 2.1 version and installed it. It was simple and it worked flawlessly. The downside of the system is the weak chess engine. Publicity adds rate the engine above the 3000 level. Comparing with my on chess level I think it is better rated in the 2300s. Stockfish seams to change its mind about the rating of each position with each move. Opening positions that chess books declare as better for one side are evaluated the opposite way. I hope this problem will be fixed in new versions of Stockfish.
