Back in March, we watched Grandmaster David Navara beat Leela in a knight-odds match (th-cam.com/users/liveb04MPlCSL24) but Leela has made another huge jump in strength. In this series, we look at some of the spiciest games...and they are AMAZING! Somehow in this game, Leela achieves equality already by move 12 - by sacrificing a pawn on top of the handicap piece! - and then a winning position by move 17! The detail is a brilliant rook sacrifice on move 23 that rips apart Black's position!
Yes it does speed things up quite a bit having one piece fewer to develop! 😂😂 Weel you know there is lichess.org/@/LeelaRookOdds and even lichess.org/@/LeelaQueenOdds 😊😎
It took me like 200 games but in a lot of them i resgined really early because i knew it would be impossible to convert in 1+0 Tried close to every opening out other and found one that worked

I doubt I would ever find Bg5-Rc7 combination. Excellent once again Matthew.
Thanks Allan! It took me completely by surprise too - it's whyI liked this game so much! Best Wishes, Matthew
Love how Leela makes sense of the improved development she has on account of the missing horse :) would love to see her have a go with rook odds too …

The Rc7 idea reminds me to always consider moves that look impossible
Yes it totally shocked me too! 😊
Rc7 is a beautiful idea, really need to be very paranoid playing these strong engines. Limit complications as much as possible.
Didn't expect Rc7! I was trying to make Qxe5 haha
Yes me too! Rc7 was pretty cool! 😊
I managed to be the first person to beat it in 1+0(and still no one else has beaten it in this time control to this day)
