Featured is game 5 from the ongoing 8-game match between Leela Knight Odds and Grandmaster Joel Benjamin. The opening is a Scandinavian Defense. This is the first publicly known classical game where Leela Knight Odds defeats a Grandmaster. Time controls are classical at 60 minutes with a 30-second increment. This is the first match ever where this specialized version of Leela Chess Zero with knight odds is competing against a Grandmaster in a classical time control. Joel Benjamin’s peak FIDE rating is 2620, and he was official Grandmaster consultant hired by IBM in the Deep Blue vs Garry Kasparov match in 1997. A very interesting opponent for Leela!

I’m a self-taught National Master in chess out of Pennsylvania, USA who was introduced to the game by my father in 1988 at the age of 8. The purpose of this channel is to share my knowledge of chess to help others improve their game. I enjoy continuing to improve my understanding of this great game, albeit slowly.
