Usually the strongest players play chess to earn money so you can expect them not to play games with odds against lc0 because they can use the same time to play humans in other tournament and earn money.Father wrote: ↑Wed Jan 08, 2025 3:28 amGood evening Mr. Larey Kaufman and Mr. Marcogio9.lkaufman wrote: ↑Sat Dec 28, 2024 6:18 pmI don't think that is necessary, although it works for you. It is sufficient to understand that the opponent is vastly stronger, and that we only need to simplify the position and avoid complications, although this is much easier said that done, especially at the smaller handicaps. Whether the opponent is a machine or some alien or super-human doesn't matter, it is the strength that matters. Top players know to simplify when winning, and they would dominate the top of the list if they played blitz rather than bullet queen odds. But it seems they like to challenge themselves.Father wrote: ↑Sat Dec 28, 2024 6:26 am...life is like a chain of new experiences and knowledgelkaufman wrote: ↑Sun Dec 22, 2024 12:00 amI think that some interested has shifted back from queen odds to knight odds and rook odds. My guess is that many 2800+ bullet players have given up; their goal was probably to make a plus score at 1'0" at queen odds, but no one can do it so far, maybe Magnus or Hikaru might have a chance, but as far as we know they haven't tried. But it remains a good way to practice/improve bullet skills, so I expect we'll still see a reasonable number of such players playing the bot from time to time.Father wrote: ↑Sat Dec 21, 2024 10:23 pm... how strange ... I have seen that the number of matches of the best players against LeelaQueenOdds has decreased? Also in bullet controls there are fewer Masters... what reason could there be for the lack of enthusiasm? I also note that the Top 100 position table has not been updated... how sad all this is...Father wrote: ↑Wed Dec 18, 2024 10:28 am[pgn] Event "Casual bullet game"]Uri Blass wrote: ↑Wed Dec 18, 2024 8:56 am I wondered if people could recently beat the knight odd bot in blitz and the result is that people could do it.
I found that gelyaromanova lost 216-1 with 4 draws against LeelaKnightOdds
lost 20-0 at 1+0
lost 29-0 at 2+0
and finally lost 167-1 with 4 draws at 3+2

Good morning Uri, I hope you are well and continue to be well.
Uri. LeelaKnightOdds is like a wild horse; You ride him and he throws you on the ground again and again, then you get to know him, you make the horse ride, trot and run, finally you tame him, and he eats from your hand.
It seems here we have learned that LeelaQueenOdds has been stronger and more powerful than some elite players expected.
So they have preferred to step aside. But history has already been written and what is written is written. To achieve leadership or a good position in the table of the top 100 humans who face the robot, it is not enough to be an advanced player, it is also required to understand that we are facing a computer with all that this means.
I hope you are well and continue well.
I wish you a very good year 2025.
I would like to ask something...
Since the last elo calculation of the top 100 of Leelaqueenodds, I have played driving the black chips, the modest amount of 1269 fights; I have been getting an idea of the
reach the program, knowing little about
little their actions and reactions. I have been improving the percentage of points step by step, I usually play 100 games a day, although sometimes they are more or less. Today, for example, I have played 4 games and my performance is 50% tied, I have played 4 games, I have lost 2 and tied 2. But I usually stabilize at more or less 16%. I think I can improve, my human strategic memory is improving... I am worried about a series of encounters between players that "crush Leela" but the way of playing seems very implausible and could distort the table... I am also worried about the absence of GM and strong players, I don't know if they have become frustrated. It's good that the bulls returned to the bullring to compete...
You are a good player at playing against Leela at queen odds at 1+0 time control but
I am sure that you are going to find strong GM's who perform better than you at 1+0 if there is money to earn from it.
Nobody in the table played the number of games that you play against LeelaQueenOdds(except nn1133) because people are not interested in it even if they can improve.
nn1133 also is not interested in playing against the queenodds version recently and most of his games against Leela are before the upgrade.
He play bullet but do it recently against humans.
Personally I also play mainly against humans(I use a different acount than uriblass to play against humans recently because I do not want people to know new openings that I play and prepare OTB for games against me based on games when I play with my real name).
