What does the client version have to do with ELO ?
I meant the engine itself and not the net. Sry :P

The graph in the website is computed by matching new network vs old network. New network is not backwards compatible with old client, and some people were still using old clients and producing inaccurate games. That's why the graph is skewed and does not reflect real life.

Can't help myself, still being in doubt:

Leela today at online playing site with White and "Hard":
[pgn]
1. e4 d5 2. exd5 e5 3. dxe6 Bxe6 4. Nf3 Nf6 5. d4 Bd6 6. c4 O-O 7. Nc3 Re8 8. Be2 Bxc4 9. Be3 Be6 10. d5 Nxd5 11. Nxd5 Bxd5 12. h3 Bb4+ 13. Bd2 Bc4 14. Bxb4 Rxe2+
[/pgn]

Stopped there, to put it into my little Leela- book, the line for Black just would be long enough already, wouldn't it?

I believe that there will be at least 4 winners who voted a correct reply if this is what you need to win(assuming they are not lying).

She does have potential, but those endgames are in serious need of attention. Below is one of her better days.

Hi Ted!

She doesn't have any chance to reach an endgame with these openings she plays.
This isn't tactical weakness only, that's simply no good "positional play" neither, which is always said to be her best side so far.

[pgn]
1. e4 e6 2. d4 d5 3. Nc3 Nf6 4. e5 Nfd7 5. f4 c5 6. Nf3 cxd4 7. Nxd4 Nc6 8. Be3
Nxd4 9. Bxd4 Nb6 10. Bd3 Bd7 11. O-O Qc7 12. Nb5 Bxb5 13. Bxb5+ Nd7 14. c4 dxc4
15. Rc1 Rd8 16. f5 $18
[/pgn]

That's again from today at online playing site in "Hard" mode, this time with Black.
Game's again already as well as over and out there.

What this thing needs more then anything else at the moment is some kind of opening book or any human player can easily learn a little book of his own against her or give it to an engine and the Elo as well as the Celo (Computer Elo) are never ever near to anything about 2000 at that very moment.

The existence of lines that Leela completely misplays is unsurprising at this point.

It's maybe somewhere in the 2300s CCRL these days (on strong hardware), which, while impressive given the "zero" start just over a month ago and all the bugs they've dealt with, is still rather weak in the grand scheme of things.

Give me any engine in the 2300s-2400s on CCRL (really could go much higher than that, even), have them play without an opening book at a fast time control, and I'd expect to find lines they're losing by move 15 :)
