Featured is an excellent attacking game between chess engines Zahak and Leela Chess Zero from 2021. Leela’s response to Zahak’s Classical variation of the Nimzo-Indian Defense is the Zurich variation. Zahak’s play is on the queenside, while Leela’s is on the kingside. Notice how many of Leela’s move compliment one another very well as the kingside attack mounts. And as for Leela’s queen rook…who needs it! More details on the engines: Zahak 8.0 64-bit (3101), and Lc0 0.23.2 wLD2 64-bit (3057).

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.
