These comments may change the result of the game.
Thank Uri, this it was only a simple observation, I will wait at least a week to see the result without comments.

I am convinced that if this game was played on www.chess.com with a T/C 15'+10" Dragon2 MCTS would at least Draw :roll:

Keep it to yourself, but try this position with any engine rated below 2575 on CCRL and see if Black can beat either Stockfish ot Dragon 2 MCTS ? Please do NOT post anything here. :roll:

There's a time zone issue: it would help if a European played the dragon's moves (unfortunately, I cannot volunteer right now).
Okay, but they could have used Zoom ==>

As a spectator, this game feels more like correspondence chess than rapid chess to me. :)
We both forgot to read this Agreement between Mr. Kaufman and Mr. Chrisw " So, probably the laptop. I guess, being reasonable, can human hold against computer, I’ld suggest “friendly” correspondence conditions for me and game in 15 for you. I’m pretty busy right now.
Alternatively, play move by move in public forum. I’ll have to trust you to stick to move as game in 15, and you’ll have to trust me to not ask Stockfish. Anyway, you could tell if I was using comp help. And kibitzers could keep their mouths shut.
Ed’s forum? I’m sure he could set something up."

Therefore, it is semi correspondence for Chrisw and for Dragon2 MCTS game in 15 minutes, but chrisw once he see the response move posted here from Mr. Kaufman will not take more than 1 minute per move.

Note: If Mr. Chrisw is able to hold a least a draw against Dragon2 MCTS it is a great human achievement, since I tried 4 different engines rated from 2530 to 2600 by CCRL and none of them was able to win against Stockfish 13 NNUE using the latest posted position at TC 15'+1", which clearly tell me that human know better how to use a Knight Odds than most engines rated lower than 2600 by CCRL. Anyway, this will be an interesting game to check daily, since Mr. Chrisw is holding his game very strongly against Dragon2 MCTS so far.

I think basicallly it is better not to make comments about how much advantage one side has during the game.
