I've emerged stockfish, but dont have xboard
| Code: | # emerge stockfish -vp
These are the packages that would be merged, in order:
Calculating dependencies... done!
[ebuild R ] games-board/stockfish-15-r1::gentoo USE="optimize -debug -general-32 -general-64" CPU_FLAGS_X86="sse -avx2 -popcnt" 0 KiB

Do I need emerge any others packages or missing some USE flag ?

Stockfish is "only" a chess engine; you need a "frontend".
I am using xboard and stockfish ... BUT ... for this you need also games-board/polyglot to be able to connect both together.
(Before many years I searched for other frontends and have not found a suitable one for analyzing games; I dont play against stockfish  - only analyzing games) |

Thanks.
It works now. I think that last time I played chess against computer on the plane. I would like to use some chess engine for analyzing too.
Xboard offers gnuchess and crafty engines. Did you try them to use? Is stockfish better for analyzing games? |

Yes, I tried both ... and I watched some games between them and stockfish ... stockfish was better 
Many (every?) chess players (better than me = most of them) say all the same: stockfish 15 is at the moment the best chess engine. |
