1) For people compiling themselves the Stockfish bench signature is: 5423738
It means that if you run ./stockfish bench then it should show 5423738 nodes searched.
This means that the compile is correct.
2) For people running / using under Android / iPhone with more than one thread,
I'd suggest to set "Use Sleeping Threads" option.
This allows to save power and battery and strength is practically the same.
Also available from my homepage and official Stockfish website soon.

Thanks for your efforts to make this wonderful engine available!
As I don't have any modern machines, I just wonder how much speed regression will it cause if the CPU doesn't support POPCNT? (for 64bit executable)
There's still another question in my mind for a long time, that is on the premise of archiving the same benchmark of stockfish, can we say dual CPUs' machine will be always weaker in engine's strength compared to single CPU machine?

I do not know what FEN string is used in Fritz GUI. You can also give a try to '0 1' instead '0 0' at the end of the FEN string.
I am sure that Maurizio needs a much better help than mine.

Hi,
yes the position is number 9 but i meant that it was the 1st position i tried.
I just copied the fen automatically from fritz, i don't think it is wrong.
By the way i used at least 20 different engines/versions (including several versions of Stockfish) and none stops running in that position.
I believe there's still a bug.
Best Regards
I just tried the position n.9 with Shredder 12 GUI and 2.3.1 64 bit sse42 stops analyzis immediately (1/1) and a window appears and tells that the stockfish...exe stopped working.

Sorry of read that. I tried SF 2.3.1 w32 for Windows under Arena 2.0.1 and it analyzed the 9th position without problems. It can also played against itself at some random FRC positions (not only the 9th)... so I do not know what can be wrong in your case. You should find a check box that puts 'UCI Chess 960' or something like that in SF configuration window: SF could play Chess 960 in my PC with this option checked and unchecked, so I do not understand why exists. I must say that I did not let SF to play the games until the very last move, but at least it analyzed in my PC. You can try other GUIs and view the result (for example, Arena).
I also saw a 'Debug Log' check box in SF configuration window: maybe it will be useful if you copy and paste the info of such errors. But of course I am not a software guru and my help skills are very limited. Good luck!

Thank you, honestly it's not a big problem for me, i'm a bit sad because i cannot run e camparison test at chess960 with 2.2.2 but perhaps there will be another fix, who knows?
I played over 300 frc positions with Marco's own fixed compile that he sent me without any problems. I'm not sure if position 9 was included, but I'll try 2.3.1 JA now.
