Leela Is Not Only An Aggressive Attacker But Also A Witty Joker

In this video I am analyzing a highly aggressive attacking game played by Leela Chess Zero vs Nirvana! In the middle-game Leela is going for an exchange sacrifice which allows her to form a massive pawn structure and once Black’s light squared bishop disappears from the board Leela launches an attack! Apart from the aggressive attack Leela also shows sense of humor and goes for an underpromotion! A fascinating computer chess game which I strongly recommend you to watch! In the end of the video as usual you can solve the daily puzzle!
