Lc0 is one of the top 3 chess engines in the world, as we know Stockfish, Dragon and Lc0 always make for good chess matches. But what if I were to tell you that Lc0 lost to the last place engine in the CCC20 Bullet: Main with the white pieces (the engine with the white pieces has the better position, but black can still hold on to draw the game)? Crazy right! Well it happened and the game right after that Clover ended up drawing with the white pieces to win the pair. To show you I am not lying to you, I will post the link here: https://www.chess.com/computer-chess-championship#event=ccc20-bullet-main&game=643 or, if you don't want to use the link go to the CCC20 Bullet: Main (1|1) game 643 move 17

Now that I have shown you where you can see the game, here is the game:

I would like to hear possible explanations on this horrible blunder by Lc0, thank you for your responses!

Edit: I just went to Game Review and it gave Clover 3 brilliant moves!! 17.Bg3!! 30.Nf6!! 36.Be6!!
