Chess.com announces new super-strong chess engine to challenge Stockfish

The most popular online chess platform continues to increase its footprint across the entire chess landscape, with the announcement of a brand-new chess engine called Torch to take on equivalent rival Stockfish.

The Torch Team announced the new engine on July 13, and mentioned that while a variety of open-source tools like Cutechess, OpenBench, and pytorch-nnue played a part in the project, the team insisted the source code is “an original effort with no code being used from any other engine.”
