Whenever I see another Stockfish update I dream of the day that I sit down and code my own chess bot that is good enough to beat me. I would be so happy if I manage to do that.

For when you need another decimal place of accuracy deciding what you should have moved instead of hanging your queen.

Would be nice if they included a few "notable" games in the release notes.

Presumably it's easy to highlight ones from benchmarks where the evaluation of Stockfish 19 is most significantly different from version 18?

The GUI page is a bit out of date imo, or I'm not sure how does the selection work because there are countles GUI options nowadays. Anyways some of the best options are not even mentioned like

Nocheto https://nocheto.sallyx.org/ (this my favorite)

ChessMD https://chessmd.org/

PyChess https://pychess.github.io/about/

Question: does Stockfish beat more generic systems like AlphaZero?
