I haven't opened the links but my immediate 2 cents are:
1. chess master level is not impressive for a chess engine
2. trained ANN have diminishing returns of their error curves, so saying
it "only" took three days is not a good indicator of anything
3. from the domain name and bold claims I suppose it must be a
sensationalist news website
