Joker, it was a serious question

[Damas Clásicas]

Torch is a private engine, so it's not possible for now.

Anyway, I wonder the following: what things can Torch do that the mighty SF can't?

It looks like Torch can solve this great old position by our good friend and study composer Mihai Neghina from 2009, but Stockfish still struggles with it:

[pgn][Event "White to move and win"]
[Site "Glarean"]
[Date "10.2009"]
[Round "Constrictor"]
[White "Mihai Neghina"]
[Black "Peter Martan"]
[Result "1-0"]

There is no public release of Torch, other than perhaps using Torch as the analysis engine in the chess.com analysis page. Private copies have been sent to a small group of individuals, mostly rating lists. We weary of people claiming to have Torch, that would not make sense to have Torch.

Hello Andrew, The analysis version of Torch on chess.com is the one that I used if you were referring to me.
