stockfish

how big a difference would it make between lichess stockfish or my own? do you use lichess or your own for opening practice?

(lichess one sure takes it's sweet time)

your own stockfish???

what is that supposed to mean???

i'm sorry.. of course i don't have my own stockfish... (silly me)
i mean the one i downloaded. from the internet..
(internet is where people go online and download and connect to all kinds of stuff)

nice rating you have.. you must be smart person

If you mean the actual Stockfish 14 that you downloaded from Stockfish, there will be almost no difference between the moves on the two as both of them are SF14. But if you think the lichess one is slower, then you can use the other one.

programs that already have it installed?

stockfishchess.org/download/ isn't this the one you have?

no i downloaded lucas chess and it's already installed (stockfish 14.1)

But the original one is stockfishchess.org/download/ isn't it? You get the compatible version from there, for various operating systems.

that is correct. that's the original one
