I don't know what happens in the layout and conversion to the pgn. The game never had White's queen-side knight, the knight that appears in this diagram is a hologram, or probably, a ghost knight.[/pgn]

Thanks for the message; In order to be able to play the games against the computer running on the "LeelaKnightOdds" bot or the "LeelaKnightOdds-dev", I must reset my password that I have forgotten on my Lichess username of "Catecan;" I have not been able to enter to lichess; As soon as it is possible for me to return to lichess I will try to achieve a discreet performance; If my score were at least one hundred percent against myself, it wont be a problem, becouse of my goal will be to try to have a basic understanding of the psychological profile of the chess program algorithm, which in itself is the greatest teaching that I can hope to have in the short term. I still continue to face the chess programs in playchess in the engine room, climbing the impossible mountain inch by inch, each defeat representing a pleasure and an achievement since each fall is like each wound on the battlefield in war: "A medal." For me it is a great pleasure to play against super players, because the pleasure is chess in itself considered, and, to tell the truth, I do not feel any fear of losing, since my objective is to fight, my mission is to fight, and m dream to win Thanks again for your advice./quote]

I saw that you tried to play a game with "LeelaKnightOdds" but it refused. I believe the reason is that you selected color "random"; you should specify that you want to play Black. It is only set up to give the odds, not receive them.

Thank you Mr. Larry Kaufman for giving me the knowledge of the existence of the chess program "LeelaKnightOdds" in Lichess. I have been able to play a significant number of matchups, and finally reached my first draw. "LeelaKnightOdds" is an intelligent Bengal Tiger without one of its legs, which does not make it an inferior ribal, on the contrary the algorithm of "LeelaKnightOdds" is great taking advantage of space, mobility, and sectoral pressure, which combines us humans in a machine objective in search us the humans, of their food, in the style of the unforgettable movie "The War of the Worlds Alien Invasion." As in the movie, our duty, following the north of the survival instinct, is to deeply know the ribal, the silicon monster. Thanks again. I will continue learning from chess computers. By the way... "LeelaKnightOdds" also has a survival instinct, because by repeating plays he accessed the draw. This profile of the algorithm is very human and makes it great.

Your diagram and game score don't work because the initial diagram shows the normal start position, not the position with the knight removed. Perhaps someone can explain the exact procedure to post a game from such a position. Meanwhile, if you want an even tougher challenge, the bot "LeelaKnightOdds-dev" near the bottom of the bot list is probably harder to beat or draw, because it was actually trained specially for knight odds. One player rated in the 2400s needed over 80 games just to get one win and one draw!

...my soul immediately feels when facing "LeelaKnightOdds-dev" how different its valuation parameter is, from its algorithm in the relationship between knights and bishops; "LeelaKnightOdds- and "LeelaKnightOdds" dev" are two cybernetic brothers, who have a common mark in their DNA but an independent algorithmic being; The first is a galloping horse, the second a horse that is flatter in its gait, more similar to the mule, safer and stronger in its footsteps, but slower. "LeelaKnightOdds-dev" is definitely different from "LeelaKnightOdds"
In my match against "LeelaKnightOdds-dev" it didn't take more than ten matches to reach my first draw; Applying this statistical performance index, we would have that in eighty games I should access
to something like four points at least, which numerically would show an interesting playing power in me facing the chess modules. The latter makes me happy, but this happiness is never comparable to what it brings me to face the chess modules and master them sometimes, sometimes, rarely, or many times. The important thing is to win some cyber boxing fights.

... It is important to note that the knight of the queen of the white pieces never existed in this game, nor in the ones I have reported here; This white horse on the queen's side, more than a hologram, or a ghost horse, it really is an illusion. And in this sense it is similar to our existence in this world. Individuals, towns and nations, and even the entire humanity, often ride and fight, pursuing illusions. Remembering my favorite song, what human beings really are, is, "dust in the win," the Kansas. I have faith that when I leave I will continue playing chess in my new immaterial home, where pure ideas and thought will be part of everyday life.

I guess the player tried to win(trying to win or draw is probably significantly easier because LeelaKnightOdds-dev allow reptitions after a small number of moves)

Uri, what you sayit is true. These two chess programs have two characteristics in their psychological profile or algorithm that are not mutually exclusive but opposite; on the one hand, they are dynamic and take a high tactical risk in the field of war, but on the other side of the coin, given the imbalance in material, they are very aware that simplification could in certain cases lead to losing the battle given the imbalance in the field.
