my program vs. leela

[smcracraft]

This was a 10 minute with +10 second increment time control.

My program is single-thread, about 1M positions per second, with position and pawn hash tables and various extensions and reductions with quiescence.

Very classical/traditional program.

In this game, it is crushed by Leela in a positional maneuver on the kingside while my program's queen is wandering far from the action in a closed pawn position.

This was played at kontrachess.com. Besides the above time control, Leela was set to "MAX", whatever that is.

I don't know the version of Leela or much else but it shows the maneuvering style combined with my program's lack of positional understanding and tactical over-tendencies.

Hi Everybody,

Here's game #2 in this two-game short match between Leela and Talish.

I extended the time control from 10 minutes +10 seconds to 15 minutes + 10 seconds at Kontrachess.com against Leela (MAX).

While I didn't attend to the game in a timely manner (was listening to music), and my program held out (slightly) somewhat longer than
the original positional crush where Leela played back, the positional edge for Miss Leela is winning at the end. Somewhat like playing
a boa constrictor or python....

I think I will stop at two games!!!!

Others can post their own results vs. Miss Leela in response?
