Some Games of Leela and AlphaZero

Patrick Reany

13 April 2024

There are two kinds of chess engines: those that operate either on knowledge of openings and endgame
lookup-tables and deep computation vs those that somehow manage to play the game by neural networks.
Those of the former include Stockfish, Komodo, Houdini, and those of the latter are Leela and Alpha0.

The purpose of this page is to showcase the wonderful games of Leela and AlphaZero (Alpha0) through
the analysis of chess masters and grandmasters such as Matthew Sadler, Tryfon Gavriel (kingscrusher),
GothamChess, agadmator, and others. Let's begin.
