Leela used 32.2 billion transistors while SF used 14.4 billion :D :D
Well my friend if that "Hardware Comparison" is true "This Match Was Indeed RIGGED"
What opening book are they using? Whats the move cutoff? Thx AR :D :wink:

Update!
After 41 games, Leela leads with +5 scores!
Leela is approx +50 elo above SF now!!

This doesn't mean anything, with just 41 games the error margin is much higher than 50 Elo.

Of course this public sample is small and it will always small forever.
If you dont believe those sample size, then TCEC champion for Stockfish 4 times, Houdini 3 times, Komodo 3 times, etc were just flukes.

And also, there were more than 30,000 games Leela vs SF with exactly same speed ratio in TCEC conditions in leela discords,
Those tests results shows T40 is +35 elo above previous T30.
I dont want to reference them cos most people dont know those stuff and they dont care those stuff.
It looks like unfair comeptition, Leela project has tons of tests against SF but Stockfish project has zero testing against Leela.

Come on, often no one needs more than 100 games. Say, if the match continues in this fashion, and the final result will be +16 -6 = 78 for Lc0 T40, then LOS will be a decisive 98.3% for Lc0, and the result will be outside 2 standard deviations error margins. Also, using pentanomial variance for paired games, error margins can be shrunk and LOS increased. We had 2 pairs of games with 1-0 result for White both sides. Roughly to get the LOS now using pentanomial variance, set each pair of won games to draws (4 more draws in total), and the "true wins result" as of now is +6 -1 for Leela, which gives a LOS of 96.4% for Leela even right now. The pentanomial computation is more complicated, but the result should be similar. And at this pace, in 100 paired games, the pentanomial error margins for paired games might well be much smaller than the difference between Lc0 and SF. I guess 100 games will be enough to have a decisive result (LOS above 95% or 98%).

End of Era will be when Lczero will be the first in rating list as well.

Past the half-tournament, the advantage has been clearly diminished (to +3). Don't get me wrong, Lc0 will win, I predicted as much at the same time I said SF would still win TCEC14, but the bar is set very high, it doesn't seem feasible for anyone to steer clear of it by a wide margin.

Lc0 is behind SF on CCC, but it's said they sent a different NN ID to that. That's another issue: not being able to tell which NN is best.
