What Hacker News says

I recommend Matthew Sadler's Game Changer and The Silicon Road To Chess Improvement.

I believe GM and chess author (and all-round lovely fellow) Matthew Sadler rigged up Leela Zero to effectively play off intuition and do very little or no search for training games. He could usually beat it, but not always. Think it might have been in The Silicon Road to Chess Improvement.
