DeepMind’s no-search chess engine is surely the furthest anyone has gotten without search.
This is quite possibly not true! The cutting-edge Lc0 networks (BT3/BT4, T3) have much stronger policy and value than the AlphaZero networks, and the Lc0 team fairly regularly make claims of “grandmaster” policy strength.

That sounds interesting. Do they have any writeups on this?
they do now! https://lczero.org/blog/2024/02/how-well-do-lc0-networks-compare-to-the-greatest-transformer-network-from-deepmind/
Apparently not a writeup (yet?), but there appears to be a twitter post here from LC0 with an comparison plot of accuracy on tactics puzzles: https://x.com/LeelaChessZero/status/1757502430495859103?s=20
