In game 13 SF has already win with black, but missed. Komodo is ahead in 2 half now :) . My final prediction 60-40.

Why you and more people from this Forum do NOT suggest TCEC how to make those matches more evenly match with better opening lines without losing their ignorant followers that just want to see White side always win :?: :roll:

We only know that Stockfish is better than Dragon in unbalanced openings and it has a more aggressive playstyle. I don't think Stockfish is actually more powerful than Dragon more than 10 - 20 elo at long time controls with balanced openings.

Unbalanced openings might have a place in engine development, but in my opinion they are too artificial for tournaments. But chess isn't the only example where they do things like this for the entertainment value. Some motor racing competitions do or have done stuff as well, e.g. add weight to the top finishers to slow them down for the next race, reverse grids etc
