Leela Chess Zero
(also known as Lc0, LCZero, and Leela) is an open-source neural network (NN)-based chess engine. The Lc0 project was announced in early 2018, and Gary Linscott (a developer for Stockfish) has led the development. Because of its free and open-source nature, it can be run on many platforms, including Windows, Mac, Linux, Android, and Ubuntu. Lc0 is the strongest NN engine available to the public. Lc0 is strongly inspired by DeepMind's AlphaZero project and learned the game in the same fashion.

According to the September 2020 Computer Chess Rating List (CCRL), Leela is the second-highest rated chess engine in the world with a rating of 3462, only slightly behind Stockfish.
