Hello
GM Adam Tukhaev will be streaming at: www.twitch.tv/almostadams
19:00 UTC is 21:00 in Kyiv?
hi
"If Adam finds it too easy, Leela will play with equal pieces."... too easy!.. is this a joke?
Any chance Magnus Carlsen goes for this?
@hangrad I don't think so according to this article: www.dw.com/en/world-chess-champion-magnus-carlsen-the-computer-never-has-been-an-opponent/a-19186058
Where he was asked:
Both chess - and more recently the Asian game of Go - are now played better by computers than by humans, even by the very best like you. Does that take away the magic of brain games like chess?
and responded with:
Yes, to some extent it takes a bit of the mysticism away. But as for chess, we've known for a long time that computers are better, so the computer never has been an opponent. It's a tool to help me analyze and to help me improve at chess.
Maybe @DrNykterstein can chime in. The Leela community would love to see him play a few matches with Leela Chess Zero.

Summary of todays matchup -
Played a total of 21 games: 1 win, 3 draws, 17 losses for the GM
1st match - 3+2 with 2 Knight odds - GM won
2nd match - 3+2 with 1 knight odds - Draw
We had about 9 more 3+2 matches with material odds (one knight, 2 pawns (c/d or d/e or f/g)) Leela won all of those.
Then we did a 5+2 match with 2 pawn odds (Leela as white and Black to move) - I think this was the best game althoug Leela won in the end
Leela had a nice move in the game that surprised him: clips.twitch.tv/ManlyLuckyCrabPeteZaroll
a 5+3 with 2 pawn odds - Draw
another 5+3 with 2 pawn odds - Leela won
We switched to 1 node per move (but with ponder on so sometimes it did calculate more than 1 node):
1x 1+0, 4x 3+1, 1x 1+1 all won by Leela being a Knight or 2 pawns down
for the finale we played Knightmare, with Leela having all Knights and GM having all the pieces except the 2 knights. He held a draw.
