Strange Leelazero Behavior

As you can see from the visit counts (the lower numbers in each circle), LZ has not bothered to think much at all about either of the two moves in the lower left corner, because it considers both of them to be significantly inferior to its preferred move in the lower center. Thus its evaluations of these moves are not very accurate - just accurate enough to see that they are not worth considering further. Presumably if you set up a situation with the same lower left corner in which there was no bigger move elsewhere on the board, then LZ would spend a lot more time evauating these two moves and come up with more accurate (and hopefully more or less equal) valuations.
