LZ#212 gave LeelaMaster LM89 2 handicaps

[splee99]

I had just run a 2 handicap game of LZ#212 and Leelamaster LM89 with time parity. Both side got 20 seconds per move, equivalent about 1500 playouts for #212 and 6000 playouts for LM89. LM89 is a strong weight trained with human games and can beat the previous LZ weight in even games. Here I'm not to judge the strengths of both LZ#212 and LM89, but the game is very interesting to watch. The way of LZ#212 dealing with Chinese fuseki is kind of funny. So after some trade in the beginning of the game, LZ#212 had a hard time to keep the less than 10% winrate from falling further, until LM89 played tenuki for the Q14 pincer. Then the ko in the center determined the game result.

I was very surprised by white's choice with 41, resolutely sacrificing the large group in the lower left!
