Stockfissh is just an enging. You need a gui.

Search the forums (In the hand‐dandy "Search Foru ms" box ‐‐‐‐‐‐>>>>>>> ).

after you download it off of stockfish's website it w ill likely be in a zip file unz ip it (you

may need to download a program that does this) af ter that put the folder whe re ever

you want it to be t hen everything else has to do wi th the gui you are using.

There are plenty of options such as chess x (free), scid (free), chessbase (paid ) you

should be able to find one that suits your needs

then some where in the gui you will be able "add an engine" or something similar and

you will have to show the gui where the engine is which will be in a folder called

windows within the file you just unzipped. and there should be 4 different versions of

the engine. since your pc is new the version you want to use would likely be stockfish 4

x64 sse42.

Not necessaarily true.

My 3 month old 64 bit Quad Core Running Windows 8.1 cannot use the x64_modern or

the x64_modern_sse42.

You may need to use just the straight x64 version.
