I was demonstrating the absurdity of his test by being absurd.
Why would anyone run such a test with Lc0 other then to mislead people and disparage Lc0 with such an obvious bias test.
The tester claims to have vast knowledge on testing, but still posted this absurdity.

"This means that in order to run Leela in full strength you will need a GPU preferably one that supports CUDA.
Running it on GPU with non CUDA Lc0 binaries means you will get many times worse performance.
Even worse running it on a CPU like normal traditional engines run, means you will get many many times worse performance.
Neural net weights in order to run fast enough they need a GPU. On CPUs they are slow as turtles."
I have been testing chess engines since 1982. And I have seen this reaction before by people wanting to protect their favorite chess programs. I have seen all the chess programs fall to the newer chess programs with better ideas. And Stockfish will be no different, as well as Lc0 if it can take the top spot.
Is Lc0 miles behind Stockfish as shown in his test? The latest TCEC ratings:
