How to run Stockfish BenchMark on PCs (it’s strongly recommended):
1.Download ‘StockfishBench
2.Open Arena GUI
3.Click PGN-Window (click over the fen position)
4.Choose your engine (Engine’s folder contains 7 Stockfish versions, for Windows and Linux too)
Note: There is also ’128Threads’ folder, which contains Stockfish 14031812 up to 128 threads
So, you can bench Stockfish 14031812 (if your hardware does not support Stockfish 13111907)
* Otherwise, please do not run a bench with Stockfish 14031812, For more details: please see here
5.Click Ctrl+1 and set the number of the Cores (alternative way: right click over the engine options)
6.Click Ctrl+Z (or from the Game window you can press Move Now)
7.Be patient please, Stockfish (on fast hardwares) will play approx. in 3 minutes to ‘Qg4‘
8.You need to take a screenshot, just after when Stockfish engine is played to ‘Qg4‘
*The screenshot bench’s picture should be look like this example
9.Send your bench with full info (Screenshot/User Name/Processor/Number of Cores) to E-Mail
*Real name is not required, benchmarks as ‘Anonymous‘ are also acceptable
*Another alternative way: you can post your screenshot on Talkchess or RybkaChess forums
