looks like queen-based endgame is the key to beating Leela on knight odds game?

Quote Navara "At least now I knew I were playing a engine!" :lol:
The first 3 games (1.5 each) were his practice games last week, the actual match score was 7 to 3 for David. He won decisively until dropping the time limit to 3'+1", where he lost 1.5 to 0.5. But he went 4.5 to 1.5 at 3'2", so it looks like the fair time limit is between those two. He scored better with b1 odds (4 to 1) than with g1 odds (3 to 2). Maybe for a future match most or all games need to be g1 odds, b1 looks too easy for the human. David prepared well for the match, he said he reviewed 250 LeelaKnightOdds games. He played quite well, only one real blunder of a piece which didn't even cost him the game, he still drew. Leela seemed to play a bit too "normally", but this may be mostly a consequence of the openings, it rarely got openings with serious attacking chances. The opening book was turned off for the final four games; it's not clear if that helped or hurt. He did much better than pure calculations predicted, perhaps due to his preparation or perhaps it's just that the elo model based on standard chess is not so accurate for predicting results in these odds games.

Does your Dragon has a good chance of drawing against GM Navara Knight Odds at time control of 3'+2" :?:

Anyway I believe it is more interesting to see a match of Rook Odds versus a Master human player

Quote Navara "At least now I knew I were playing a engine!" :lol:
The first 3 games (1.5 each) were his practice games last week, the actual match score was 7 to 3 for David. He won decisively until dropping the time limit to 3'+1", where he lost 1.5 to 0.5. But he went 4.5 to 1.5 at 3'2", so it looks like the fair time limit is between those two. He scored better with b1 odds (4 to 1) than with g1 odds (3 to 2). Maybe for a future match most or all games need to be g1 odds, b1 looks too easy for the human. David prepared well for the match, he said he reviewed 250 LeelaKnightOdds games. He played quite well, only one real blunder of a piece which didn't even cost him the game, he still drew. Leela seemed to play a bit too "normally", but this may be mostly a consequence of the openings, it rarely got openings with serious attacking chances. The opening book was turned off for the final four games; it's not clear if that helped or hurt. He did much better than pure calculations predicted, perhaps due to his preparation or perhaps it's just that the elo model based on standard chess is not so accurate for predicting results in these odds games.
Does your Dragon has a good chance of drawing against GM Navara Knight Odds at time control of 3'+2" :?:

Anyway I believe it is more interesting to see a match of Rook Odds versus a Master human player

There have already been many games played by LeelaRookOdds on LiChess against masters up thru International Masters. There have been a large number by one rather strong IM, Joan Fluvia (FIDE 2445, was over 2500), mostly at 3' + 5", with the score 29 wins for Leela, 17 wins for Fluvia, and 3 draws. The games are all there to be viewed.

My Next question is, after observing different Odds, how much Elo is worth to give a knight odds, would you estimate around 700 elo points versus GMs at 3+2" time control; Whereas Leela without its Knight might be only rated around 2740 at the most in comparison to Human FIDE rating?

I think that the match showed that a lot depends on preparation and motivation. It seems that with motivation and preparation (he reviewed 250 LeelaKnightOdds games!) he is a slight favorite at 3'2", maybe it would be almost balanced if only g1 odds. Probably his FIDE blitz rating of 2688 is the most relevant one for this (and it's near the average of his rapid and classical ratings). so LeelaKnightOdds is roughly 2650 level at 3'2" against a very well-prepared, motivated opponent, perhaps more like 2750 against a casual opponent. We don't really know what FIDE rating Leela would have on good hardware like this but it might be close to 1000 above the 2650 figure, depending on what assumptions one makes about how it would get a FIDE rating in theory. Probably it will be possible to improve odds performance by better settings or better nets or better opening book choices.

Maybe for a future match most or all games need to be g1 odds, b1 looks too easy for the human. David prepared well for the match, he said he reviewed 250 LeelaKnightOdds games. He played quite well, only one real blunder of a piece which didn't even cost him the game, he still drew. Leela seemed to play a bit too "normally", but this may be mostly a consequence of the openings, it rarely got openings with serious attacking chances. The opening book was turned off for the final four games; it's not clear if that helped or hurt. He did much better than pure calculations predicted, perhaps due to his preparation or perhaps it's just that the elo model based on standard chess is not so accurate for predicting results in these odds games.
There have already been many games played by LeelaRookOdds on LiChess against masters up thru International Masters. There have been a large number by one rather strong IM, Joan Fluvia (FIDE 2445, was over 2500), mostly at 3' + 5", with the score 29 wins for Leela, 17 wins for Fluvia, and 3 draws. The games are all there to be viewed.

My Next question is, after observing different Odds, how much Elo is worth to give a knight odds, would you estimate around 700 elo points versus GMs at 3+2" time control; Whereas Leela without its Knight might be only rated around 2740 at the most in comparison to Human FIDE rating?
I think that the match showed that a lot depends on preparation and motivation. It seems that with motivation and preparation (he reviewed 250 LeelaKnightOdds games!) he is a slight favorite at 3'2", maybe it would be almost balanced if only g1 odds. Probably his FIDE blitz rating of 2688 is the most relevant one for this (and it's near the average of his rapid and classical ratings). so LeelaKnightOdds is roughly 2650 level at 3'2" against a very well-prepared, motivated opponent, perhaps more like 2750 against a casual opponent. We don't really know what FIDE rating Leela would have on good hardware like this but it might be close to 1000 above the 2650 figure, depending on what assumptions one makes about how it would get a FIDE rating in theory. Probably it will be possible to improve odds performance by better settings or better nets or better opening book choices.
It would have been interesting to see Leela playing half of the games as Black, but with 3+2" whereas GM David Navarra playing White with all the pieces only have 3+1"

Quote Navara "At least now I knew I were playing a engine!" :lol:
The first 3 games (1.5 each) were his practice games last week, the actual match score was 7 to 3 for David. He won decisively until dropping the time limit to 3'+1", where he lost 1.5 to 0.5. But he went 4.5 to 1.5 at 3'2", so it looks like the fair time limit is between those two. He scored better with b1 odds (4 to 1) than with g1 odds (3 to 2). Maybe for a future match most or all games need to be g1 odds, b1 looks too easy for the human. David prepared well for the match, he said he reviewed 250 LeelaKnightOdds games.

An anonymous GM rated 2958 blitz on LIChess (handle Brown_player) played a lot of blitz games at 3'2" with LeelaKnightOdds after the Navara match but came out behind. So David really did very well to win the series at 3'2", presumably due to his excellent preparation, attitude, and form. A funny development today; some unrated anonymous player was suspended for repeatedly cheating against LeelaKnightOdds, but despite such cheating and the knight odds, he still lost every game (9 games!). Now if someone can't win or draw a single game starting a knight up using a computer to help him, he must be a REALLY bad player (or he uses a really bad engine)!
