I don't understand the people saying that Carlsen was wrong for drawing there. Two engines (leela as carlsen, stockfish as caruana) playing it went to a draw

- mehwoot 8y agoBecause engine chess is not human chess. Defending a position with a ~3300 ELO computer is not the same as doing it as a human down on the clock. Look up some of Mikhail Tal's games to see how you can become the best in the world whilst still playing moves that are "refuted" by engines. Still he's heavily favoured in the tiebreaks, so I don't necessarily fault his strategy.
- freyir 8y agoLeela is an inferior chess engine, and Leela and Stockfish were given equal time. In the human match, Carlsen and Caruana are closely matched and Carlsen had a significant clock advantage. The engines are playing out the position here: https://www.chess.com/computer-chess-championship https://www.chess.com/computer-chess-championship
- Santosh83 8y agoWhy do you say Leela is an inferior engine? Genuinely curious. Is it just a matter of the neural net not up to speed (and thus a matter of time before Leela is on par with Stockfish), or something else that will always handicap it?
- freyir 8y agoI should say, it's presently inferior. It has repeatedly placed behind Stockfish in recent TCEC and CCCC tournaments. I imagine it will surpass Stockfish at some point.
