So AlphaChess exploited weaknesses when it absolutely demolished Stockfish.
But most Chess engines are so incredibly strong that it is a weird conversation to have.

Two years ago I made a map of all Open standard play #chess congresses in the UK and colour coded it (red for FIDE-rated, yellow for ECF-rated only). It's had about 7500 views since. I'm really hoping to add another red pin for a regular #AlphaChess Congress in North London soon.
