Amifish is a chess program made to play chess with the Amiga-like systems,

Stockfish, developed by Tord Romstad, Marco Costalba, Joona Kiiski and Gary
Linscott. A chess engine is a console program who play chess, receiving
strings as commands and producing strings in output as result of computation.
Stockfish and much others engines are compatible with a standard named UCI
(Universal Chess Interface). The name Amifish is obtained by joining the words
'Amiga' and 'Stockfish' (although, however, the project is open to all engines
