More Details:The current idea (running a such duel match) is born due to:AlphaZero (Weight) played vs Stockfish 8 (No book) in 2017And now it's just opposite, not same of course...but similar...!)To be honest,I'm not much surprised that Brainfish managed to win, where Lc0 lost...You may know, usually all engines suffer without using opening booksAnyhow, I've noticed that Lc0 via T40B.4-160 plays incredibly strong...For sure here I think Kayra3 setting played another Big role...Yes... Leela (as any other engine) had troubles in some openings,..But looking at overall performance...l should admit, to defeat Lc0 (even without book) was not a soft touch !)Note also that, (under current duel conditions) no matter which Top engine...A special tuned book can be scored 200+ Elo over the one without book!And probably mostly of experts (Top book makers) should agree with Me...And please do not take too seriously the current results..it's just a fun duel...
Best,Sedat
