Fat Fritz
Fat Fritz,
a commercial chess entity by ChessBase featuring a set of custom made neural network weights that work in the open source project Leela Chess Zero within its Lc0 executable. Initially introduced as a cloud project in August 2019, inspired by DeepMind's ground breaking AlphaZero approach combining Deep learning with Monte-Carlo Tree Search (MCTS) [1],
and Albert Silver's Deus X experience, relaxing Leela Chess' "Zero" paradigm of pure reinforcement learning due to supervised learning, Fat Fritz was released in November 2019 as part the Fritz 17 package,
best supported by a GPU card such as Nvidia GeForce 20 series.
The project was further discussed and supported by AlphaZero co-author Thore Graepel, German computer chess icon Thomas Nitsche along with his sons and Math42 authors Raphael Nitsche and Maxim Nitsche [2], and by Daniel Uranga [3] [4].
