When AlphaZero Sacrificed Its Rook Against Stockfish the Calmest King Walk Changed Everything
What this video shows
This is a real game from DeepMind's published AlphaZero vs Stockfish 8 games (the set DeepMind released with its Science paper in December 2018), not a game made up for the video.
AlphaZero has White in an English Opening (English Opening guide). It leaves a rook on g5 for the black knight to take, and later walks its own king from h2 to h5 to support the attack.
