Without reference to your specific ideas for games that might be
difficult to solve, I wonder where these games fit on the human
playability scale. The things we find acceptable as games are
in a pretty small domain, which lies between the things that are
trivial and the things that are too
AZ scalability looks good in that diagram, and it is certainly a good start,
but it only goes out through 10 sec/move. Also, if the hardware is 7x better
for AZ than SF, then should we elongate the curve for AZ by 7x? Or compress the
curve for SF by 7x? Or some combination? Or take the data at

I saw it the same way, while conceding that the facts are accurate.
It makes sense for SF to internalize the details before making decisions. At
some point there will be a realization that AZ is a fundamental change.

The conversation on Stockfish's mailing list focused on how the match was
imbalanced.
- AZ's TPU hardware was estimated at several times (7 times?) the computational
power of Stockfish's.
- Stockfish's transposition table size (1 GB) was considered much too small for
a 64 core machine.

It's about 40-45 Elo FWIW.

I don't think
