"In chess" for AI papers == "in mice" for medical papers. Against lichess levels 1, 2, 5, which use a severely dumbed down Stockfish version.
Of course it is possible that SSI has novel, unpublished ideas.

Also it's possible that human intelligence already reached the most general degree of intelligence, since we can deal with every concept that could be generated, unless there are concepts that are uncompressible and require more memory and processing than our brains could support. In such case being "superintelligent" can be achieved by adding other computational tools. Our pocket calculators make us smarter, but there is no "higher truth" a calculator could let us reach.
Lichess 5 is better than the vast majority of chess players
I think the main point is that from a human intelligence perspective chess is easy mode. Clearly defined, etc.
Think of politics or general social interactions for actual hard mode problems.
The past decade has seen a huge number of problems widely and confidently believed to be "actual hard mode problems" turn out to be solvable by AI. This makes me skeptical that the problems today's experts think are hard aren't easily solvable too.
