I took all the moves up to move 21 and let Berserk continue the game to see what happen, just to let you all know that at this level all that it take for top GM like GM Ding Liren is a small positional advantage to take the game and turn it into his favor, but if you let top engines like Stockfish, Komodo Dragon, Berserk etc.... play it out after move 21, that small insignificant advantage is not enough to win the game. :roll:
