Fat Fritz 2 is a rip-off

As the head administrator for TCEC at the time, I can certainly say that many were irate at DeusX. It was very obvious that it ran using leela and was not presented to us in a way to make it seem otherwise. His interview was much different than his official engine submission.

Silver was trying to innovate with methods of training neural networks but his continued lack of credit for existing work is upsetting.

The good news from TCEC’s perspective is that we were able to start building rules that did not allow for such entries in subsequent seasons.

Thanks for the info, good to know.

Silver didn't innovate anything. He was just training a NN with a good hardware paid by Chessbase.

Thanks for telling us the info, wow

The true conclusion is that Silver is a scammer

While I wholly agree with the article, I don't think it should be posted as a lichess announcement.

First time chess.com has done things correctly!

Thank you Lichess, very cool!

Is there any way they can be sued?
