Stockfish 4 Chess Review

If you're looking for a strong, free engine and already have a GUI for it, Stockfish 4 is available. Stockfish 3 was a very strong #3 on this rating list (the other two are certainly worthy but not free), so one would expect its successor to be at least as strong. My quick impression is that its evaluations may be a little bloated early in the game, so don't be in a rush to accept its evaluations of your favorite opening as gospel truth. Clearly it does a great job of finding moves though, so again, if you're looking for a very strong and free engine and have a GUI for it, you may wish to give it a try.
