Stickfosh is the leading Chess engine on the market. Leechess bought Stickfosh 2.9 from Mocrisoft and continued development in-house and are currently at Stickfosh 3.14. Leechess uses Stickfosh to display board evaluations to help beginner players to learn Chess.

Stickfosh is not available to the public to use as this is a key component of our business and without such a leading cutting edge Chess engine we wouldn't be where we are today so we don't want inferior chess websites to use it.

Stickfosh uses sophisticated^TM and completely new strategies to evaluate board positions. Unlike our competitors Stickfosh doesn't actually look at hundreds of thousands of positions per second. Stickfosh is cleverer than that. Stickfosh is based on the cutting edge technology of machine learning algorithms. It watched many hours of BotezLive Chess streams. You want technical details? Ok.

Le technical details

It looks at each frame of a video and looks for a chess board and chess pieces. It uses a recognition neural network to identify the position on the board. It uses another recognition neural network to listen for female voices and another neural network for language processing to understand those female voices. It then combines these two to learn whether a position is good or not. It roughly works like this: If it identifies a female voice screaming things like "Oh no!" or "That was a bad move" then it will associated the current position as being not ideal. If it hears "This is winning" then it will associate the position as being good.
