#chess #siliconroad #reengineeringtheclassics #cccc Leela is really good at judging these fortresses! 311 moves so far in the game, and still as equal as ever for Leela! https://www.chess.com/computer-chess-championship#

I loved this crazy game demonstrating the power of 4(!) connected passed pawns against an unprotected black king (as if you didn't know that already 😉 ) https://youtu.be/HDSOyOUaUCI

#chess #siliconroad #reengineeringtheclassics #tcec #c960 Leela's projected main line makes you suspect a fetish for fianchettoed knights 🧐 🧐

#chess #siliconroad #reengineeringtheclassics #cccc Judging how it's going for Black, Leela is also paying hommage to Magnus' result! 😂

#chess #siliconroad #reengineeringtheclassics A while ago, I had a conversation with a rather strong player about the value of the centre in chess, particualrly in relation to Chess960. We both felt that the centre's value has been inflated by the standard chess starting position (where it really does matter!) Shuffle the pieces around a bit and you see this... 1.7 for White despite Black's classical double pawn centre! It's the same in shogi: the centre is of little general value there too.

Watch young English IMs Matthew Wadsworth and Brandon Clarke battle it out in a mainline English opening... with a twist! https://youtu.be/Y0W4r7mRc64
