UPDATE: Hey folks! Thank you for your kind words about my AlphaZero videos! I don’t have new AZ videos on this channel but I have created something even bigger: an entire chess course (Attack like a machine!) highly influenced by AlphaZero’s play, with the main chapter dedicated to AlphaZero’s attacking chess! You can check out the preview video and find out more about the course here: https://www.chessable.com/anna-1

Let’s just say Anna was under a *slight* pressure to create more AlphaZero content for you guys…
Here’s the first episode of the video series “Attack like AlphaZero” by chess International Master Anna Rudolf, focusing on the strategies it takes to launch an attack on opposite flanks — and what happens when that initiative doesn’t lead to a killer attack but converts into a different type of advantage.
