Holy Crap! What a remarkable game by Lc0. It really looked like Houdini had a very dangerous initiative on the Queenside with 2 incredibly scary looking passed pawns, but then all of a sudden Lc0 disregards everything and does a rook lift and attacks on the Kingside!!! Looked like suicide, but it got an incredibly strong initiative that totally busted Houdini. One of the best games I have seen 2 engines play! You really had absolutely no idea who was going to win or what the hell was going on. It was a positional masterpiece where Lc0 patiently set its forces to defend and at the same time when it saw a tiny window of opportunity to pull the initiative it burnt its bridges and went for it.

I think AI will really be the new big thing just like the internet was a few years ago. From self driving cars, to finding new medicines to making Nuclear Fusion finally feasible. We are seeing the beginning of a big change in how the world works and NN hardware is going to explode in strength as more money is pushed into it. Lc0 is just a tiny indicator of that big change!

Here is the game to those who missed it

Why are people saying Houdini is the Champion when it is not in the Superfinal?

Not sure why, I only know that LCZero beat Houdini in the TCEC CUP final (KO format). My question is why LCZero is playing the superfinal, if Komodo was second in Premier Division? It should be Stockfish vs Komodo

Because the games against Komodo MCTS were cancelled at the end (according to TCEC rules, since MCTS crashed 3 times), and Lc0 benefited from that.
