That just means that Stockfish doesn't get stronger with more than 1 minute per move on a modern computer. It doesn't say anything about other engines.

Stockfish with 1000 minutes per move is an approximation of a perfect chess player. So if Stockfish with 1 minute per move will never lose against a perfect player, it is unbeatable by any chess engine.

    How could we possibly know this?

    > it is unbeatable by any chess engine

    So its engine is finished? There's no further development? No new algorithms?

      Isn't it obvious that increasing time per move will make the engine better and at some point perfect?

      No.
