Wow SF had a loss, due to greedily taking free "g pawn" , that allow king side attack. I bet 1400, people dont do such strategical mistake.

I imagine it will be a lot of fun analyzing with a nn engine in the future as it seems they play more rational chess.

And also Leea is weak in tactical position where many branching forcing line need to be calculated precisely. Cos Leela is x1000 time slower than SF, Leela is more likely to miss tactical holes.
I define tactical-a position is unstable with many branching line
Positional- a position is stable with very narrow branching line
It looks like Stockfish is the last man keeping an honour of traditional chess engines. Leela has been progressing so fast and just after one year anniversary, she improved from Zero to Hero. She passed almost all level of traditional chess engines including Komodo and Houdini (except Stockfish).
And the current machine learning is still improving. I am curious to see the end of an era of traditional chess engines.
