| Name | Description |
|---|---|
| analyzeA | Analyze a chess position with the Stockfish engine and return the best move. Accepts a position as FEN or PGN (or omit it for the starting position). Returns the best move (in both UCI and human-readable SAN), the engine's evaluation, and whose turn it is. Optionally include the engine's predicted best line. Use this whenever you need the strongest move or an evaluation for a chess position. You do NOT need to set up the position and search separately — one call does both. |
