LeelaKnightOdds crushes Caruana’s Scandinavian in 19 moves

Featured is a 3+2 blitz chess game between LeelaKnightOdds and Fabiano Caruana which was played on February 6th, 2025. Out of a Scandinavian Defense, Caruana’s queen quickly finds herself in hot water. Leela’s 7th move, Nb5, creates a difficult position, forcing the queen to take on the critical task of defending against a fork on c7. Soon after, Leela initiates kingside pawn advances and introduces a fishing pole idea on the queenside. Under mounting pressure, Caruana resigns after only 19 moves.
