I don't think so since that would mean using domain knowledge.
Easy mode on play.lczero.org means doing a _single_ playout per move. So in fact it is simply picking the move suggested by its policy head which is part of the NN.
Just try playing few matches against SFdev depth 1 and you'll see how crappy LC0 NN policy and value networks are.
And then please come back once it actually manages to beat SF depth 1 search in a match. Just to give you a heads up, this won't happen any time soon unless the size of NN is increased
.
I can confirm that SF detph 1 won 1.5-0.5 in a match that I did manually.
