Usage

final stockfish = new Stockfish()

// Listen on stdout of Stockfish engine
final stockfishSubscription = stockfish.stdout.listen((line) {
    print("received: $line");
});

// Sending UCI command to get Stockfish ready
stockfish.stdin = 'isready'

stockfish.stdin = 'position startpos moves e2e4' // set up start position
stockfish.stdin = 'go depth 20' // search bestmove with a max septh of 20

// Make shure to dispose Stockfish when closing the app. May use WindowListener.
stockfishSubscription.cancel();
stockfish.dispose();

Goal of this fork of stockfish_chess_engine

• Avoid limitation. This version does not redirect stdout and stdin of the app for communication with stockfish.
• stdin and stdout were replaced with a fakestream element.
• Stockfish internal logging might not work (could be fixed).

Credits

• Based on and using source code from stockfish_chess_engine
• Using source code from Stockfish.
