Silicon Road: Great Engine Games! Exchange pieces, ignore pawns! Leela-Caissa TCEC Swiss 7 1-0

Silicon Road: Great Engine Games! Entrenched squares! Leela-Caissa TCEC Swiss 7 1-0

This video is in the Great Engine Games series! Another lovely game from Leela in which a single dominant theme - the domination of Black's passive dark-squared bishop by Leela's knight - is pursued from beginning to end. A classic demonstration of the technique of exchanging the right pieces to leave the opponent with only passive ones! The game is viewable here: https://tcec-chess.com/#div=sw&game=3...
