This is an excellent chess game between Leela Chess Zero (3692) and Berserk (3650) from the Premier Division of the Top Chess Engine Championship, Season 28. The game begins from a position after 8…Bg4. Watch how Leela steadily improves the position while black is mostly left shuffling pieces. Leela’s treatment of the knight on g4 is especially instructive. How can a knight be on an outpost in your territory yet completely out of play? Leela shows us!

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.
