You are 100% correct.....Leela0 is strictly a positional monster...I have observed some terrible tactics from LC0 (but it plays some closed and semi-open positions) quite well indeed.....

This was bound to happen, but it just seems a lot more than I expected. Usually Lc0 fails with tactics much less often. I think this will be patched up soon and it won't be due to a new network. I think network alone is not sufficient enough to patch up these weird misses as it seems A0 also had some of these tactical misses (although much less).
But for TCEC, you have to realize this is an entertainment show more than actually engine test. The book lines used are intentionally made to create very tactical positions which are not in Lc0 favor. The idea is to reduce the number of draws as much as possible. It is not secret that Lc0 can be weak in some tactics and that tactics is something that needs to be patched up.
By the way, Lc0 also had some pretty incredible wins. Looking at the evaluation of the Blue Fish (176 thread SF) it seems that it would have beaten SF on that massive hardware in those games as well.

[d]6k1/b3q3/Q3b2p/p2p1p2/4n3/3B1N2/PP3PPP/2rNR1K1 w - - 6 34
when i checked, SFs reply to Be2 was d4, not sure if it's clear best move.
...
In the game SF expected 34. Ne3! after 5704M nodes with equality (0.16) at depth 42.
(This move never appears in all of your LC0 analyses)
The beginning of the pv:Code: Select all
33... Rc1 @ 34. Ne3 Rxe1+ 35. Nxe1 Nxf2 36. Kxf2 f4 37. Kf1 Bxe3 38. Nf3 Qf6 39. Qd6 Kg7 40. Ne5 Bb6 41. Nd7 Bxd7 42. Qxd7+ Kf8 43. Qxd5 Qxb2 44. Qd6+ Kf7 45. Qxf4+ Ke7 46. a4 Qa1+ 47. Ke2 Qa2+ 48. Kd1 Qb3+ 49. Kd2 Qa2+ 50. Bc2 Qd5

If you think Lc0 is terrible in tactics, SF is terrible in strategy too. 
The score is extremely close!!

Sorry to interrupt but whats the complete line after Kf1?? Bxf2! of black?
Looks like Lc0 (with white) gets 3 minor pieces versus lone Q of SF (black).
3 minors is not bad against a Q and Lc0 thought so too, also endgame position looks like fortressable.
I remember Ljubejevic beating Karpov using 3 minors against Karpovs lone Queen.

I think more important than looking at what move Lc0 will play is to see what it "thinks" in MPV mode. If it sees a move that is second best or third best and is still instantly losing but the evaluation is very neutral, then that is something worrying, even if it chooses the correct move.
