Albert’s response:
Empirically, from the innumerable comments on the Lichess forum, in which average chess players stated they felt duped by Albert's articles on ChessBase and ChessBase's misleading advertising, we can deduce that everything wasn't nearly as "crystal clear" to consumers as Albert suggests.
Albert Silver is the head coach of Fat Fritz, and its successor. His path to inventing the 2.0 engine is worth talking about, because once he was almost ready to publishing it he came across a new neural network technology from Japan – "NNUE". Silver reconsidered his close-to-finished project, and dedicated his mind and soul to the efficiently updatable neural network. It paid off! Fat Fritz 2.0 is out and ready now, defining opening theory with a "human" touch, and being as precise as can be in endgames.
This paragraph is highly misleading. It is exceedingly evident to me that this paragraph would lead the average reader to believe that Albert is responsible for porting HalfKP input features/NNUE code from Shogi to chess.
Fat Fritz 2 is trained and developed using this NNUE technology, running inside the open source Stockfish binary, but with a completely new and different neural network
Finally, where would any of this be without the fabulous Stockfish team and their legion of contributors, as well as Yu Nasu for his groundbreaking NNUE work, and Tanuki (nodchip) for his translation of the Shogi code for use in chess
The notion that these two sentences are sufficient is utterly ridiculous. The former is buried in the middle of a lengthy article. The latter sentence is positioned at the very end of a lengthy article, framed as a question, after the allocation of two paragraphs to the significance of Daniel Uranga and Dietrich Kappe's contributions to the project.
