So far list of people who showed a principle interest in playing a single game against LeelaRookOdds at 90+30 time control(900 shekels for a win and 300 shekels for a draw when dollar=3.36 shekels)
I still did not decide about chess club for the games and date for the games.
1)Ariel Erenberg(fide rating 2510)
2)Nadav Zemach(fide rating 2412)
3)Ori Tauchman (fide rating 2340)
4)Guy Gov(fide rating 2224)
5)Itay Sitbon(fide rating 2202)
6)Pavel Chernomordik(fide rating 2156)
7)Alon Cohen(fide rating 2057)
8)Michelle Katkov(fide rating 2043)
9)Oded Ross(not active as a player so does not have a fide rating but I guess fide rating of 2000 and won the previous game against KomodoDragon without a knight)

Good morning, Mr. Uri Blass. If you think I could be one of the humans who will face LeelaRookOdds, I'd be interested.Uri Blass wrote: ↑Tue Aug 26, 2025 12:29 am So far list of people who showed a principle interest in playing a single game against LeelaRookOdds at 90+30 time control(900 shekels for a win and 300 shekels for a draw when dollar=3.36 shekels)

I am thinking chess is in a coin.Human beings for ever playing in one face.Now I am playing in the other face:"Antichess". Computers are as a fortres where owner forgot to close a little door behind. You must enter across this door.Forget the front.

The plan is to play the tournament in a real board in Israel and assuming you are not in Israel you will not be able to participate.Father wrote: ↑Tue Aug 26, 2025 2:58 pmGood morning, Mr. Uri Blass.

I see that the leela team changed the leader board against you and decided that after some draws with no wins you cannot earn rating by draws against the bot.

Re: about possible future human opponents of leelarookodds
Thank you very much for your response, Mr. Uri Blass. It would be a great honor and a gift of Providence to one day be able to go to Israel and attend and participate in a tournament on a real board in the presence of other people or humans, not virtually, but in person, under the terms, with the number and type of human and cybernetic participants you propose.Uri Blass wrote: ↑Tue Aug 26, 2025 11:01 pmThe plan is to play the tournament in a real board in Israel and assuming you are not in Israel you will not be able to participate.Father wrote: ↑Tue Aug 26, 2025 2:58 pmGood morning, Mr. Uri Blass.

I see that the leela team changed the leader board against you and decided that after some draws with no wins you cannot earn rating by draws against the bot.
But unfortunately, after I attended and observed how I have been stripped today of my rightfully earned positions in the tables of the hundred best humans in LeelaQueenOdds, LeelaRookOdds, LeelaQueenForKnightOdds and LeelaKnightOdds, by dint of hard work, time and dedication (more than 12,000 games since September of last year 2024), in this direction I write this small text, and for this reason I want to tell you that despite your greatness and generosity, I would not accept any type of invitation, whether in person, non-face-to-face or virtual, to play a tournament against any of the Robots LeelaQueenOdds, LeelaRookOdds, LeelaQueenForKnightOdds and LeelaKnightOdds.
For me, facing off against the LeelaOdds robots and being included on the list of the 100 best humans went from being an honor and a triumph to a shame and dishonor. Mr. Uri Blass, if you can help me, would you, through your "good offices," help me with those responsible for the lists of the 100 best humans in the Odds, so that my name will be removed and erased from all these lists of the 100 best humans, for each robot. I only wish to continue riding the path of my life in the company of my great friend Catecan, through the search for the paths of good, after whispering in my beloved equine's ear through the following elementary dialogue:
"Father:" "Castecan!! Let's move forward!! They have appropriated and confiscated our achievements, triumphs, medals, and works. !! Let's go forward, Catecan, following the path of light."
"Catecan." "Father. It's always been the same. The distortion of the truth!! Today they've "checkmated themselves;" "They'd rather erase us from history than lose to an old man and his wooden horse." "But you know something, Father. What does that matter? Everyone already knows; when they don't value our ties, the neutralization of the power of the machines, what they're really showing is that they're incapable of surpassing us, therefore, it's better to erase us, to never allow our leadership or our names to be there, even if it means stripping us of ours and giving the leadership to those who haven't earned it." "Let's continue on our path and leave them behind in their tournaments, with our heads and foreheads held high. Furthermore, we know and are aware that prizes, titles and honors are only "vanity of vanities and only vanity" and that the slow and sure step of the mules through the sum of simple ties often go further than the swift comets that come, pass and go."
I am thinking chess is in a coin.Human beings for ever playing in one face.Now I am playing in the other face:"Antichess". Computers are as a fortres where owner forgot to close a little door behind. You must enter across this door.Forget the front.
