How to Analyze with Stockfish 16.1 Online with Chessify
As a Chessify user, you can now take advantage of Stockfish 16.1's refined capabilities. Visit chessify.me/analysis to start analyzing with the latest SF version at 1000kN/s for free and subscribe to increase its speed to up to 1 BN/s (equivalent to 1,000,000 kN/s).
IMPORTANT: Due to the new larger net, Stockfish 16.1 experiences a decrease in its NPS speed, which, however, does not indicate any decline in its performance; in fact, its analysis quality will be higher. In light of this, Chessify will maintain access to the previous version, Stockfish 16, to allow our users the flexibility of choosing between the two versions based on their preferences and needs.

Stockfish 16.1 introduces several enhancements including:
- - Updated NN architecture: The latest Stockfish features an upgraded neural network architecture (version 8) for higher evaluation accuracy.
- - Dual NNUE: For the first time, Stockfish includes a secondary neural network, enabling quicker evaluations for positions that are easily decided.
- - Expanded Binaries: Stockfish now offers 13 new binaries, which take advantage of specific CPU instructions for improved performance.
- - Removal of handcrafted evaluation (HCE): With this release, Stockfish transitions to a fully neural network-based approach.
