Body: <p>I have a list of PGN files that are games between top grandmasters where one player resigned at the end of the game.

  <p>How can I do that?</p>

  I have a list of PGN files that are games between top grandmasters where one player resigned at the end of the game. I am looking to find solutions to those position using stockfish/or another chess engine(programmatically).

  How can I do that?

  In Python this can be done as follows:
  
  Using the python-chess module, iterate through the games in your pgn database. Docs: <https://python-chess.readthedocs.io/en/latest/pgn.html>
  
  <https://python-chess.readthedocs.io/en/latest/core.html#board>
  
  Now to use Stockfish, download the Stockfish engine, and then use the stockfish python module: <https://pypi.org/project/stockfish/>. python-chess can also be used to interact with Stockfish, but I'm not familiar myself with how to do this.
  
  For each position in a game (that you want to find the best move for), get its FEN (using python-chess), and then set the stockfish module object's position to it (using the set\_fen\_position method). Finally, you can call the `get_best_move` function of the stockfish module.
