Gerry Nolan has asked me to bring the following to your attention:-
For anyone interested, I see that Stockfish 9 engine has recently been released and can be downloaded from the free Stockfish site. It’s still the most powerful engine around and regularly comes ahead of its closest rivals Komodo and Houdini, both of which cost between $50 and $100. Amazing value
He is clearly practising for next season!?
Stockfish has just passed a rating of 3,500 in the current premier division tournament and is 4 points clear of its nearest rival after 62 games!
