I followed a reti opening and declared a knight game with a queen push and strong pawn on f6. The bishops get to trade off a knight on dark and hold down the enemy side on the light. Since I was going with a strong knight game, I wanted a knight imbalance.

Thanks to the google ai games vs stockfish... The AI shows a weakness in stockfish where you can disable minor pieces and sacrifice your own to lockdown, chase, and mate.

Neat

I had no clue how to beat stockfish 6 'till this idea. On to stockfish 7!

This is the board right as the midgame begins. What do you think of the positions? Blacks knight winds up on a7 next move and stays there the remainder. My bishop starts looking for a flight square back to safety.
Stockfish 6 pursued on queen side, but couldn't improve much. Removing knights and locking down bishops against a bot is awesome.
