Silicon Road: Great Engine Games! Playing ugly! Leela-Halogen TCEC Swiss 7 1-0
This video is in the Great Engine Games series! Leela is gifted a beautiful double pawn centre out of the the opening. Does Leela try and keep it intact? Not at all! Leela converts beauty into ugliness by breaking up its centre to thrust its d-pawn deep into Black's position. Halogen looks to solve its development problems with some fiendish tactics but Leela is on the ball! The game is available here for replay: tcec-chess.com...
