#169 - actually i agree with you and I should retract my statement. Indeed it would be better to go to abrok.eu to get the latest development version of stockfish rather than to buy fat fritz 2 - fat fritz 2 is no more customer ready than simply stockfish due to their development versions

Here's the link for GPL violations: https://www.gnu.org/licenses/gpl-violation.html

I think the Stockfish and Lc0 teams should exercise all legal options.

This is just another example why free "libre" software is better than commercial software.

„The point is not, if this is legal. The point is taking advantage of the work of other people without giving them credit. This is something undefendable imo. You may rely on "Mundus vult decipi. Ergo decipiatur." So you would choose allowing to scam you. Maybe you change your pov in case this happens to you.“

I’ve just received a CB newsletter via email, I read:

  • Fat Fritz 2 is an original neural network that is powered by a modified version of Stockfish. Stockfish is an open-source project licensed through the GPL v3 with all due rights. The source code of Stockfish and the modifications for Fat Fritz 2 can be found on Github.

So at least I know from which way the wind blows, don’t you?

Chessbase is literally useless unless you are a coach, rich, or IM/GM (maybe FM). The top engines move doesn't really matter much except for the case with top GM's and super GM's having to prepare with the best move in every position. At most levels itsn't so much engine preparation but more so your own analyzation of positions and strategies/ideas. Every year there is a new "better" chessbase but chessbase 11 probably still works just as fine. Maybe there are less games to analyze of your opponents, but it works. Plus, chessgames.com is a great website anyways.

Still no public statement by the Stockfish leadership on the antisemitic harassment video originating from their project.
