Leela Chess Zero (LCZero/Lc0) is an open-source neural network chess engine trained via self-play, similar to AlphaZero. To use it: download the Lc0 binary from lczero.org along with a weights (network) file, then integrate it into a chess GUI like ChessBase, Arena, or Cute Chess via the UCI protocol. Lc0 performs best on a CUDA GPU; it still functions on CPUs, but at significantly lower speeds. Use Lc0 for long-term strategic analysis, particularly in endgames and pawn structures—select networks like 'BT4' or 'T80' to balance playing strength and speed.
