Oh, interesting! I didn’t expect to see a mix of games decided by many small blunders and games decided by a few big blunders.
I actually do suspect that there are learnable patterns in these complex positions, but I’m basing that off my experiences with a different game (hex, where my Elo is ~1800) where “the game is usually decided by a single blunder and recognizing blunder-prone situations is key to getting better” is perhaps more strongly true than of chess.
Yeah I didn’t expect that either, I expected earlier losses (although in retrospect that wouldn’t make sense, because stockfish is capable of recovering from bad starting positions if it’s up a queen).
Intuitively, over all the games I played, each loss felt different (except for the substantial fraction that were just silly blunders). I think if I learned to recognise blunders in the complex positions I would just become a better player in general, rather than just against LeelaQueenOdds.

Just tried hex, that’s fun.
