Body: <p>In Matthew Sadler's book,  &quot;<em>The Silicon Road to Chess Improvement</em>&quot;, Sadler uses Leela Zero for training with Leela configured to &quot;one node&quot; search (ply). It is a good way to have Leela &quot;plays like a positional genius with flawed tactics&quot;.</p>
  <p>How do I configure Leela this way?
  I have Fritz 18, installed Leela, go to parameters, but I can't find this option.</p>

  (Asked by: username_0 on 2023-06-18)
  
  In username_2's book, "*The Silicon Road to Chess Improvement*", username_2 uses Leela Zero for training with Leela configured to "one node" search (ply). It is a good way to have Leela "plays like a positional genius with flawed tactics".
  
  How do I configure Leela this way?
  I have Fritz 18, installed Leela, go to parameters, but I can't find this option.

  A simple way to play against LC0 with no search is to challenge one of the lichess bots that do this. Lazybot, for instance, has a fairly current net and plays quite well for something that does no search.
  
  In a local chess GUI, I think setting thinking time to zero should also make LC0 play pure policy.
