# How to interact with stockfish running in docker
Build the container `stockfish:15`:
```sh
make build
```
Create a file called `stockfish` with the following contents (one is included in this repo):
```sh
#!/bin/sh
nc localhost 23249
```
Give it executable permissions with:
```
chmod +x stockfish
```
Now you can run the following to start stockfish:
```
make start
```
This will start a stockfish instance that will listen on port 23249 for commands.
You can now run `./stockfish` to interact with the stockfish instance.
```
./stockfish
uci
isready
quit
```
More examples of stockfish engine interaction are:
```
./stockfish
uci
isready
ucinewgame
position startpos moves e2e4 e7e5 g1f3 g8f6
go depth 20
quit
```
For more information about stockfish, see the [stockfish github page](https://github.com/official-stockfish/Stockfish).
## PyChess Example
```python
import chess
import chess.engine
stockfish = chess.engine.SimpleEngine.popen_uci("./stockfish")
board = chess.Board()
while not board.is_game_over():
result = stockfish.play(board, chess.engine.Limit(time=0.1))
board.push(result.move)
print(board, "\n")
stockfish.quit()
```
