I use stockfish 16 to analyze the positions at 10s/pos and using the games from Lichess broadcast as they have clk info. Position complexity is calculated by recording the iter depth where there is bestmove change starting from depth 4. Complexity number are also added if there are more moves considered in the analysis.

It would have been better if they had played Chess24 instead, since Chess960 has too many Openings that favour one side by a large margin of more than 2.0. That is something that you should investigate with Stockfish
