Stockfish is definitely strong but the way LCZ or AZ beats its opponents is totally different and foreign to humans. Stockfish has a database and a whole bunch of openings prebaked into it.

Here are the actual stats: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Top_Chess_Engine_Championship#...

Leela Chess Zero is definitely not as strong as Stockfish 14 but still ranked #4. That's not nothingburger.

> AlphaZero beating Stockfish was more a propaganda attempt from Google to appear as a world leader in AI then an actually attempt to find the superior engine.

Wtf?
