Can a human still defeat Leela ?

[Jhoravi]

I just beat the Hard mode ID205 right now. I know the website time control gives it a handicap but I'm still happy anyway

What's interesting is that she refrained from 25...Rxb3 in view to my tactics 26.Nxg6 followed by 25.Qc2 with double attack. In fact she defended from my threat by playing 25...Kh7 instead. I know it's just a shallow tactics but considering that Hard mode is just 400 nodes means her tactical sense is getting better.

Congrats ! And a nice win above that.

I got a couple of draws against her. Blocking everything possible.

Okay Pablo! I'm just joking.

[Jhoravi]

I have beaten Hard mode again at ID213 with king side attack. The lowering from 2000 nodes to 400 really hurt the strength of Hard mode level.. nevertheless it's more fun!

What else?
I can not aspire to win a game against a plus 2300 player.

Tell us the truth, you were able to hold a draw against Leela because you
cheated and used your engine Moron v1.0 on your smartphone.



laughing regards,

Oh dear, you caught me....

[whereagles]

Beat ID 231 today on easy after a couple of tries. It rushed to an unsound rook trade in a QGA and ended up dropping the queen side.

[fern]

You are clearly stronger than me then. Congrats...if that serves for anything.
