I Agree that LcZero on a 2080 at 1% of normal speed would win a match from MC at any plausible time limit (let's say with at least 2" increment in case Lz0 needs .02 seconds or so to work properly). But against the correspondence chess Champion given 24 hours to think and LcZero 1% of that 24 hours to think per move will not have a chance against Leonardo Ljubicic correspondence World Chess Champion just using a very old Computer and a very weak chess engine like one of the 2013 early Komodo 6 for analysis assistance.

I’d hazard a guess that even Mean Girl (32x4 net) running on CPU could handle Magnus.
Fat Titz by Stockfish, the engine with the bodaciously big net. Remember: size matters. If you want to learn more about this engine just google for "Fat Titz".

WOW TCEC is only charging $2.50 to chat for this month which is half of what they usually charge $5.00. For that little amount I will subscribe and give them my 2 cents of opinion and ask them some questions about their settings of different NN engines.Since the NN engines already are much stronger than 99% of the ab engines except Stockfish which is still competing against LCZero for the Sufi or Super final https://tcec.chessdom.com/live.html
