IgniteChess uses Stockfish for browser-based analysis and engine-driven play features, including review panels and practice modes where the engine calculates or replies to moves.

Stockfish is open source chess engine software. IgniteChess attributes Stockfish to the Stockfish project and its contributors, and we are grateful to the Stockfish team and community for making that work publicly available.

The self-hosted browser engine bundle shipped by IgniteChess is based on Stockfish.js and the Stockfish project. You can review the upstream projects and licensing information here:
