Featured is a game from round 6 of the Top Chess Engine Championship, Season 16 between Leela Chess Zero (LCZero) v0.22.0-nT40B.4-160 and KomodoMCTS (Monte Carlo Tree Search) 2381.00. There are many instructional moments in this game out of a Slav Defense, Quiet (Slow) variation. In it, white doesn't deploy the bad bishop outside the pawn chain, whereas black does. Eventually KomodoMCTS is successful in exchanging the bad bishop for white's good bishop. In the process, white achieves a slight queenside space advantage, and a black pawn to bite at on g6. What follows as white pursues a kingside attack is a star idea that I have only ever previously seen surface with a knight taking center stage.
