AlphaZero Catalan novelty in a double pawn sacrifice variation! AlphaZero Opening Novelties #8

GM Matthew Sadler and WIM Natasha Regan explain how AlphaZero - DeepMind's general purpose artificial intelligence algorithm - thinks, trains and plays chess.
This game features an AlphaZero Catalan opening which is brought to life with an AlphaZero pawn sacrifice - a double pawn sacrifice in fact! - and a deep novelty against the solid setup that Stockfish chose for Black. It also features an incredible strategical idea 16.g4! We demonstrate how AlphaZero turns the normal Catalan approach of refined queenside pressure into a raging kingside attack!
