I think getting opening books that give a 0.00 for each side or super neutral books also work against SF. In TCEC the only time SF seemed to do well is when it came out of the opening with a big advantage where deep forced tactics and not positional play mattered.

Nice observation. Does anyone know how many Megabytes LCZ is to download?

With Stockfish playing LC0 without an opening book the result is 100% meaningless..."Apples & Oranges"..
I pretty much agree. Its a huge handicap for SF.

What DeepMind did with A0 was much worse than these Lc0 games. They just let SF go into the same bad openings over and over again.
