@Joe Joyce,

You don't need a remarcable nerural net, just  a big one :)!

Let me put it this way to you. You know when you go to jobs interviews and they ask you what experience  you have? Well such a program has somewhere above thousands of chess lifetimes of experience.  Is that remarcable? Maybe!... That is probably for everyone to himself to decide :)!

More, you seem not to understand that these algorithms are highly scalable. Size, bellow the point of ridiculouseness (which could be around an 1600 squares board maybe) is almost irrelevant. Yes tricky rules like restrictions to capture are harder to grasp, and we may come up with more tricks to make it even more difficult :)! But at the end of the day these are akin to academical parlour tricks, nothing to difficult to grasp :)!
