Lc0 funny game. Castle then Uncastle

Post by MikeGL »

Nice win.But notice the trollish move 0-0-0 and then Lc0 decides to return both R and K to uncastled state.
Then decides that the safest place for whites K is at the king-side.
As usual, instructive and out of this world.

Test position (2 pawns in exchange for B)

Post by MikeGL »

Sorry will just append this nice win. I don't want to open another thread.
Brilliant bishop sacrifice (46...Bxh4!!) in exchange for a passed pawn in K-side.
Not sure if other engines would consider 46...Bxh4!! in this position too as how Lc0 continued for the win.
