New stockfish book, version 2.0.1!

Thanks for the hint. It seems to work fine with scid. In the past Scid used to be no longer in development, and chessdb stepped into that gap. Since when it is the other way around?

You're welcome! To use Stockfish, you need an interface which supports UCI protocol. I use Scid, a chess database program (from which chessdb derives I think) and you can find it here in AUR. Stockfish is just a chess engine, which receives string commands in it standard input. This commands are generally generated from the User Interface which supports the Universal Chess Interface(UCI). Try Scid and search the options about engines. If you have a problem, try it's documentation and you won't have difficulty figuring out what to do.

Thank you Badredin. Sorry, seemed to be business as usual. 'makepkg' worked fine. Now I have another problem. How do I get stockfish to do anything? It does not communicate with eboard and chessdb. Do I have to set some parameters? Which? I also started 'stockfish' on the command line. Something starts, but nothing happens. The command 'stockfish bench' results in a cemetary of output. Also a file 'bench.txt' is generated.

@Turelion Press the 'Files' link and you'll find it. Or, if you prefer, untar the tarball and you' find it there.

Where can I find the file stockfish.install, which PKGBUILD is looking for?

New Stockfish engine, version 2.0! The openings book is still version 1.9. I hope it works as expected! If not, please inform me, and I'll try to fix it.
