In oganm/stockfisher:

Given a board or a position string that can be accepted by UCI, calculate the next best move, opponents best move (ponder) and which player has the upper hand (score)

stockStep(board = NULL, posString = NULL, movetime = NULL,
  wtime = NULL, btime = NULL, depth = NULL, translate = FALSE,
  ponder = FALSE, stockfish = NULL)

`board`	is an board generated by `rchess`. Mandatory if `translate` = TRUE
`posString`	is a string that can be accepted by a UCI as an alternative to `board` Will be ignored if `board` is defined
`movetime`	How much time should the engine spend on thinking
`wtime`	Alternative to `movetime`, must be provided with btime. How much time the white player has on the clock
`btime`	Alternative to `movetime`, must be provided with wtime. How much time the black player has on the clock.
`depth`	Alternative to `movetime`. The search depth.
`translate`	Should the move from the UCI be translated into standard chess notation. This format is accepted by `rchess` boards. You need to provide a `board` for this option to work instead of a `posString`
`ponder`	Not implemented yet. Should the engine continue to ponder
`stockfish`	A running UCI engine process. If NULL, a stockfish process will be spawned and stopped at the end of function execution.

a list containing 4 elements. bestmove is the calculated best move by the engine. ponder is the opponent's best move against the engine's best move. score is engine's perception of how good it's position is. scoreType is the type of score. If its cp, upperbound or lowerbound, the score estimate is in centipawns. If it is mate, the score is a guess of how many turns till the opponents demise (or the engine's if its negative).
