What build does the Stockfish radio button use?

#1

We all know that the latest dev build is sorted by date and build number. Which one does the “Stockfish 9” and "Stockfish 8’ radio button use?

Greetings! We actually have a dev build for Stockfish 7 as well. Here’s the corresponding versions:

  • Stockfish 7: 20160102-2026
  • Stockfish 8: 20161101-0919
  • Stockfish 9: 20180131-1041

Can you explain why the specific dev build was chosen?

I don’t know all of the details – it’s a decision made by the maintainers and developers of Stockfish. Most of the discussion happens on the “fishcooking” forums though – here’s a link to the discussion:
