'Fat Fritz' by Albert Silver
Last year I wrote a short series of weekly posts about the preliminary stages of TCEC S13:-
To make a long story short, AlphaZero begat Leela which begat Deus X. After Deus X was eliminated from S13, nothing more was heard about it until a year later:-
- 2019-08-13: Fat Fritz – What on Earth is that? (chessbase.com; Albert Silver)
That article describes the evolution of Deus X into Fat Fritz. Skipping ahead a few months, a claim appeared similar to one made at the introduction of AlphaZero near the end of 2017:-
- 2019-11-06: Fat Fritz defeats Stockfish in 100-game matches (chessbase.com)
Not surprisingly, that claim was a precursor to the introduction of Fat Fritz as a commercial product:-
- 2019-11-12: Introducing Fritz 17 with Fat Fritz and other goodies (chessbase.com)
How long will it take the computer chess world to pit Fat Fritz against the battle-hardened competitors in the series of TCEC/CCC events?
