Hissha from the Lc0 server reports 19 wins, 3 draws, and 2 losses against Lenderman (currently ~2500 FIDE) at 15+10 from a knight odds match 2 months ago—with the caveat that Lenderman started playing too fast after 10 games. I haven’t run the numbers but suspect this would be enough to go even against a 2750, if not Magnus?
I was surprised too. I think it’s an exciting development :)
Hmm, that sounds about right based on the usual human-vs-human transfer from Elo difference to performance… but I am still not sure if that holds up when you have odds games, which feel qualitatively different to me than regular games. Based on my current chess intuition, I would expect the ability to win odds games to scale better than ELO near the top level, but I could be wrong about this.
