But if you're not as least as good at it you won't even be able to get to those positions. You'll lose to it much earlier in much worse ways.

The cyborg player will have access to the best publicly available software for preparation a year ahead of any competition.

For most of us, that means we'll all have the best verison of LeelaZero to grab from Github and use in our own personal studies. Which should still be super-human in terms of play.

How is the human player adding anything to this partnership when the program is already so much better?

And don't forget that AlphaZero is gonna be getting better over that year too; you're trying to beat a moving target.
