Learn From The Best: Leela Chess Zero

Learn from the top neural network in the world!

Want to learn from maybe the strongest chess machine ever? AlphaZero was the first neural net chess engine, but it only played a couple of matches before retiring. Its mantle has since been taken up by Leela Chess Zero, the winner of the 2020 Computer Chess Championship. Take a look at Leela's greatest games!

Here is what you will learn:

  • Learn how Leela plays amazing long term sacrifices!
  • Learn from Leela's spectacular attacking play!
  • Learn how Leela crushes opponents with a space advantage!


What I notice in the neural net chess engines is that they play chess like a boa constrictor. They hold their grip and when you relax they squeeze a bit more. Zugzwang often appears in these games. It's really impressive to watch. - Chess.com member AilaDuskarrow

This was a great analysis. You may not be a GM, but your mind is brilliant none the less, and you may have just changed my approach to chess forever. I’m a natural attacker, and this opened my eyes to a world of chess I barely considered possible. Thanks Dan! - Chess.com member AchLuigi
