Nakamura's position still drawn but it looks like he will blunder and lose the 4th game, leading to 2.5-1.5 for Dragon.

When I posted it was drawn. :wink:

In this last game, Dragon succeeded in keeping the position complex and messy very long, and Hikaru's king in the center made it much harder for him to find the right moves.

Was it regular Dragon or the MCTS version playing tonight ?

I find it amusing that people are posting sf12 evals in the chat, given how much stronger Dragon is in odds play. :-)
Fat Titz by Stockfish, the engine with the bodaciously big net. Remember: size matters. If you want to learn more about this engine just google for "Fat Titz".

It seems are simulated Nakamura results are reasonable. So we can match Stockfish 12 with sim Naka. And see how bad SF12 plays with a handicap.

It was regular Dragon. But I think we'll go with MCTS Dragon tomorrow, mainly for variety. MCTS Dragon does worse than normal Dragon giving handicaps to other engines (maybe not Lc0, that's worth testing), but it did better against my son and the regular Komodo MCTS did much better than regular Komodo giving handicaps to GM Alex Lenderman. Perhaps simulation won't predict well in this case.
Komodo rules!

What was the final score today?
