I think Magnus Carlsen could, as long as he could make it to the endgame. (LTC of course) 8-)

I managed to scrap a few games on easy the other day. It beat me like 10-to-2 in the end though.

The version that destroyed GM Tang was old and I imagine even Carlsen would have a tough time beating that version in a match. The newest versions no human would have a chance.

I think the strategy would be to do something that is counterintuitive for humans versus computers. I would recommend playing something tactical, like the King's Gambit with Leela while you still can. Get her into a tactical fight. We know she is weak in tactics and her endgame can improve a bit more, so take her to those places and beat her with experience that she still does not possess.

I'd love to see Chess24 promote and host a short match with Svidler!

I think it's now too late ! But the interesting things is how Leela would win against super GM with his agressive double edge style.
