> AlphaZero, the engine that pioneered the “neural network” approach now incorporated into Stockfish That's simply not true. While stockfish does use a neural net, it's not using the MCTS approach like LeelaChessZero, and only uses the neural net for evaluating a position, not for suggesting moves. And it was only implemented after stockfish lost to lc0 in a computer chess tournament. | ||

Meh, I think the description is accurate. AlphaZero did pioneer neural networks for board evaluation, even if there was prior art on this. AlphaZero also showed a revolutionary new approach to search and training which Stockfish did not adopt, but that doesn't make the first part wrong. | ||
