In September 3, 2018, chess.com will be hosting their computer chess championship for this year. There are a lot of factors that Leela will be fighting for No 1 vs the best AB engine , Stockfish. Of course, if you recently saw Leela performance in TCEC Division 3, this post will be a big joke( But in bonus games, she draw all 9 games vs Stockfish 8 and Ethereal). 

Improvement factors/favoring factors for Leela,

1. 4x V 100 for Leela vs 48 cores ( GPU/CPU ratio will be 3.6 times in favor for Leela than TCEC, so approximately + 90 elo)
2. Newer ID are already stronger than 520 (at least +50 elo)
3. Leela will have Tablebase support (possibly +20 elo)

As latest version of stockfish is only 100 elo stronger than stockfish 8, Leela will be in more favour if she can effectively use 4x V100 and Tablebases.

Hype,hype,hype,hype.

Will still get pummeled. Not just beat.

Deux is way better. Its outputting the evals much closer to what they should be, but it has no middle game.

Either way A0 was way better. Less training games, less time, and crushes its opposition.

If Leela supporters keep on hyping, Leela will disappear. It has to deliver tactics. Instead the big news apparently is the engine identifies as male or binary now.
