These are again imbalanced openings (+1.0). Engines need to hold serve with white and try to draw with black.

Is Dragon plays with default net or a new net. If it's playing with a new net, how is the power difference between nets?

It's a little early to draw conclusions, but interesting as always

2 loss from 4 games. Disappointing.

The openings in Division Premier are too biased towards white; it is very likely that Komodo has won the games because black made a mistake or a blunder in the opening book line. Komodo as black has lost all of its games so far.

Of course early days. Next match between unbeaten engines Stoofvlees - SF!

If all the programs use their own Opening Books Komodo would have NOT lost those two games with Black since they are too close in ratings specially Stoofvless, LCZero, Stockfish NNUE, and Komodo. It would be more interesting for all programmers to provide their own Opening Books and let them fight it out. Or to eliminate Opening Books and instead only chose the first move like 1.c3, Saragossa 1.d3, Mieses 1.e3, Van't or 1. h3 Clemenz Opening; creating unorthodox chess Openings with NOT much advantage for White since White does NOT immediately take control of the center

You need to focus on each engine’s performance as black (assuming they hold serve as white). So far Stockfish has been the class of the field, with a win and several draws as black.

That's even worse, as it becomes a competition of which opening book is better rather than which engine is better.
