| Unfortunately, all Leela bots including LeelaQueenOdds are facing major technical problems since last week, causing stalling challenges, abandonding games and repeated significant downtimes. This makes it impossible to provide players with the necessary playing conditions where they can perform to their maximum strength, which in turn prevents the challenge from achieving its goals. We have therefore decided to postpone the challenge to after the technical problems have been fixed; eligible players which have already reached the "20 wins for either side" condition will their results have counted once the challenge resumes, but will be allowed a "fresh start" under the challenge conditions with the better result counting. |
