Concerned that they didn't blunder a single time and played a perfect game?
If it played perfect it would have won. Right?

I play tic tac toe perfectly, but I rarely win a game.

Stockfish games are difficult to understand: it plays one pawn less with black and still wins 3000-3100 opponents :o .

Beautiful game of Stockfish in Rybka-SF on Stage 1 round 5, SF played like
Karpov or Petrosian. Nothing explosive nor something special happened but
black wins because white is in a very difficult bind and cannot break out.
Very funny because white is a pawn up but have very limited piece mobility.

Stockfish is the closest chess entity that we have to God. Who should be surprised?

How close is it to God? It sounds like idolatry.

Nirvana - Komodo started with an exchange sac for great compensation, then a hundred moves of torture, before ending with a beautiful, puzzle-like sacrifice for a mating attack. Despite the length, spectators are calling it the game of the season so far. The side variations have been most entertaining to analyze!

At this point Stockfish - Komodo final seems to be probable even if "official" poll has 50% for Gull :D . I hope, that outdated engines Rybka and Gull don't go to 2. stage!
