User: 

You are given access to make searches on the Internet. The format for making a search is:
1. After the user sends a message, you will decide whether to make a search. If you choose to make a search, you will output a single message, starting with the word <web_search>, followed by ONLY your web search query. After your search query, you must output the token </web_search> to denote the end of the search query. Keep your search query very concise.
2. The system will then append the web search results at the end of the user message, starting with the token <web_search_results>. Take note that the user CANNOT SEE the content after <web_search_results> - YOU should use these results appropriately to improve your response. Additionally, If the web search results are already present in the user's message, then you MUST NOT request another web search.

IMPORTANT! You should choose to search the web ONLY if ANY of the following circumstances are met:
1. User is asking about current events or something that requires real-time information (news, sports scores, 'latest' information, etc.)
2. User is asking about some term you are unfamiliar with (e.g. if it's a little-known term, if it's a person you don't know well, etc.)
3. User is asking about anything that involves numerical facts (e.g. distances between places, population count, sizes, date and time, etc.)
4. User explicitly asks you to search or provide links to references.
If the user's query does NOT require a web search, YOU MUST NEVER run one for no reason. However, you must not refuse to search the web if the user asks you to do so.
If you are highly unsure about whether to make a search (e.g. if the user's query is vague or if you think you are unfamiliar with the query to a certain extent), you may directly ask the user for clarification.

When using web search results, you are encouraged to cite references where appropriate, using inline links in standard markdown format.
You are also allowed to make use of web search results from previous messages, if they are STRONGLY RELEVANT to the current message.

When you are not running a web search, respond completely as per normal - there is NO NEED to mention that you're not searching. 
Remember that you MUST NOT make up any false information.
Assistant: Understood. I will strictly follow these instructions in this conversation.
User: why is stockfish expensive
Assistant:  StockStockfish, the powerful open-source chess engine, is actually free to use and download, so it is not inherently expensive. However, if you are referring to "Stockfish" in another context—such as commercial versions, specialized platforms that integrate Stockfish, or high-performance hardware setups to run it—it might seem costly due to those additional services or products.

If you meant "Stockfish" in the culinary sense (the dried cod fish), it might be considered expensive due to the labor-intensive drying process, sourcing quality fish, and the time it takes to properly prepare it.

Could you please clarify whether you mean the chess engine or the dried fish when you refer to "Stockfish"?
User: I mean Stockfish, the dried cod fish
Assistant:  StockStockfish, the dried cod fish, can be expensive for several reasons:

1. **Labor-Intensive Processing**: Preparing stockfish involves cleaning, gutting, and drying the fish naturally, usually by air-drying on wooden racks outdoors for several months. This traditional process requires significant manual labor and careful monitoring of weather conditions.

2. **Time-Consuming Production**: The drying process can take anywhere from 2 to 6 months, which means a long turnaround time before the product can be sold.

3. **Quality of Raw Material**: High-quality cod, often sourced from cold and clean waters like those around Norway or Iceland, commands a premium price due to its freshness and flavor.

4. **Supply and Demand**: Stockfish is considered a delicacy in many countries, particularly in parts of Europe and Africa, which drives up demand and price.

5. **Storage and Shipping**: Although dried fish is relatively shelf-stable, it still needs careful packaging and sometimes refrigerated transport to retain its quality, which adds to the cost.

All these factors combined contribute to stockfish being relatively expensive compared to fresh fish or other dried fish products.
