Why are people saying Houdini is the Champion when it is not in the Superfinal? ...My question is why LCZero is playing the superfinal, if Komodo was second in Premier Division? It should be Stockfish vs Komodo Because the games against Komodo MCTS were cancelled at the end (according to TCEC rules...

Given the error margins and limited development time (compared to the v8-v9 cycle) hardly strange. Thanks for commenting ! :D But precisely, the error margins make it hard to allow the +14 Elo to reach the announced +50 Elo... (1% to 2% probability, maybe) And perhaps CCRL is finding that the +50 E...

Certainly, as long as Lc0 can demonstrate such horror games, its future is bleak !

It seems that a good chunk of the benefit of 7 man TB is just the rook and 2p vs rook and p endgame plus the small KPPPkpp, which can be put on a fairly small SSD along with 6 man with no big cost of download or SSD. Are you sure ??? A pawn will necessarily promote, so you will absolutely need the ...

Obviously, something is very wrong with that version of Lc0...

I just hope somebody of the Lc0 team can comment

Maybe it's an error-bar problem...
