Has anyone who installed Leela have any feedback on the evaluation function?   

Despite computers being so much stronger than us, it seems like it can be tough some time to use them to assess if a decision was "practical" in a game you made or if you should go for a line where you are defending ... it might be a draw but if one side needs to be much more precise from a human perspective, this can be a problem.

I saw some comment that AlphaZero plays at IM strength with "search turned off" and so I wonder if it is "more human" and easier to learn from.

I don't know how similar Leela plays to Alpha?

I tried download Leela in https://github.com/LeelaChessZero/lc0/releases but engine analysis not showing in ChessBase 15 when loaded. 

The small window where engine evaluation should show is totally blank on my computer.

SF10 most likely isn't the strongest engine anymore now

Time to get an RTX 2060.. What a time to be alive, buying strong GPUs to play.. Chess.

Now that Stockfish 10 has been released, maybe someone can update this thread - I assume SF 10 is clearly strongest?

How much sense does it still have to use more than 1 engine today? I gave a short status of this in my just published article: https://chess-brabo.blogspot.be/2018/02/to-analyze-using-computer-part-3.html

I have to check your study someday, because I like the Catalan for White!

Stockfish will always be open source and totally free, and most likely world class. Unless you have some really specific reason for paying for Houdini or Komodo, SF will always be sufficient for most hobbyists. 

Hell, nowadays with lichess.org "studies", you can essentially create multi-game PGNs, save them in the cloud, use an opening explorer/DB, Stockfish using your local CPUs, draw arrows and highlight squares, analyze with friends, etc. All for free, all in one place, saved automatically, with no installations needed. It's kind of insane. For most hobbyists that's an all in one deal. As an example, you can check out a study I made a while ago as a companion to a YouTube video: https://lichess.org/study/MgtQ3N9a

You know, I had seen these results last night after I posted in this thread already. These do not surprise me. In blitz, Stockfish 290116 64 POPCNT is an absolute monster. It's beating Komodo 9.1 on my machine, using chessbase's live book, at a 4-1 clip. It's elo is so much higher that 9.3 is obviously rated lower than Stockfish 7/Dev at this point. They even have 9.3 performing "worse" than 9.2. Kind of makes it impossible for me to talk myself into buying 9.3 just to see. I know I wouldn't be happy with the results. 

I've looked endlessly online and can't find the start date for TCEC 9. Should be extremely interesting.
