Silicon Road
Silicon Road is all about the best chess on the planet and how to learn from it! This channel shows how to use chess engines like Leela and Stockfish as powerful training partners in the opening, middlegame and endgame, and help you improve your chess in exciting and modern ways. This channel showcases the games of top engines such as Stockfish and Leela which feature powerful opening novelties, amazing tactics and fantastic endgame technique! We also dive into human games - modern and classic - and uncover fresh new ideas and surprising conclusions with the help of our silicon assistants!
I’m grandmaster Matthew Sadler: a 2-times British Champion ranked in the world’s top 50 for many years and a prolific author. My three most recent books - Re-Engineering the Chess Classics (co-authored with my childhood coach Steve Giddins), The Silicon Road to Chess Improvement, and Game Changer (written together with Natasha Regan) are all about learning from and training with engines.
