This stockfish guy... who the heck is he exactly?

This guy named "stockfish" somehow has a rating higher than any grandmaster in the world has ever achieved - 3000. He also has that rating on absolutely everything - on bullet, rapid, blitz, slow, puzzles, etc.  And when I checked his recent games... no results found.null

Is he even human?

He's a bot, then? That's what I suspected.

AnuJoesph

It's an official bot.

I hear that he is some crazy Norwegian. He rarely sleeps and lives in his parents basement.

Are you being sarcastic or are you saying that for real?

It's true I went to school with his brother, Rudolf Gull, also a 3000+ rated player. Strange fellow, living in his dads basement. Their parents got a divorce when Rudolf was 6 and Gerhard "the Stockfish" Gull was 3. Sad story.

sure, i dont'know the Stockfish well, but Rudolf was a good friend of mine, at least as he could be: a Tourette guy, if you know what i mean; isn'it Matajajas, how are you? it's ages ...

@stockfish is a site official computer account. That's why it has a moderator icon.

Stockfish doesn't deserve to be a mod. This is step one on the slippery slope to humans being enslaved by machines. Quash this crap by flooding the staff with grievances over this blatant attempt at subjugation.

Hmmmm... I think Stockfish is a Norwegian chess engine originally made to fish out the best stocks but once found something on chess. Then it taught itself... nope, that sounds more like alpha0.

Don't know much about this Stockfish fella, but he sure looks mean as hell!

I caught a Stockfish once, but I threw it back. I didn't want to clean it.

People who know Stockfish don't talk about Stockfish, it's safer that way. I dated him once. I'll never eat spaghetti again.

Yes, if Heather dated Stockfish, she knows he's cheap (free).

It sounds like you went out with him as well.
