"Fat fritz" stronger than Stockfish ?

Hi,

What do you think about the claim that "Fat fritz" is stronger than Stockfish. Here is ChessBase article on this issue.

It's rather meaningless to compare it to Stockfish, it should be compared with Lc0, since they are related. Of course Lc0 on a good GPU is often superior to Stockfish, maybe even most of the time, but whether it is stronger can only be determined by match or at least rated play. I mean Lc0 might choose better moves 90% of the time (when they disagree), but if the other 10% are blunders it will be overall weaker. Same with Fat fritz.

I don't see it claiming anywhere that Fat Fritz is stronger, just highlighting that it found a move Stockfish missed. Since that is one of Lc0's fortes, it's not surprising that Fat Fritz can, too.

Why are you posting false information, there is no claim by Albert that his Fat Fritz is stronger than Stockfish. Two, that is not Albert's style, he has more class than that.

Leelenstein also finds 24. ... Qc4 in under a second.

Agreed.
Though, likely it wasn't a blow against Albert, but Chessbase.

Stockfish-dev seems relatively unimpressed with 24...Qc4---and it has no trouble seeing the "spectacular key move" 27...Ba7 in that line. But I certainly haven't analyzed these lines.

Is 24...Qc4 really "better" than 24...h5? Or is this just another case of ... no need to write the rest of the sentence.

I think he was trying to point out that even with a weak laptop GPU, the NN engine was able to find a move that the AB engine with strong hardware did not see. The point being that when analyzing a game or a certain move, an NN engine might find moves that even the strongest AB can't,thus giving the chess player an extra dimension in checking out moves that would have otherwise been missed. I have no idea how you understood the article as being "Fat Fritz stronger than SF" !!!

But that point isn't valid if the move it "finds" is weaker, as the posts above suggest. We've seen this issue before.
