Right now I'd say that the team of programmers with high level social skills are beating the human player not a computer alone. Right now these games are structured in a way where the computer team has 100% of the mental game and the human player has zero socials pressure or mental games at his disposal. How is this a fair and direct battle? You either remove the human team, which of course they will refuse. So humans are talking to the players, observing the players, asking other players about them, watching their interviews and emotional states. It's still the computer playing but it's humans observing it and Hikaru and then making sure they beat him. And now we see the same with Hikaru where the opponent team has a bunch of chess experts and programmers adjusting the settings day to day. He would have destroyed Deep Blue if they didn't have a team to constantly adjust it to his gameplay and mental state.

chess computer games kinda seem unfair and not illustrative of much as the computers are adjusted by humans between rounds. Nakamura will win $250 per victory over Dragon and $100 per draw. All games will be streamed on Hikaru Nakamura's Twitch channel and at /TV. The match will take place over two days (18 Nov-19 Nov), with four games being played each day. Game 4,5 - Dragon plays without the c2- and g2-pawns Game 3,6 - Dragon plays without the b2- and g2-pawns Game 2,7 - Dragon plays without the c2- and f2-pawns Game 1,8 - Dragon plays without the b2- and f2-pawns All games will be played with 15+10 time controls, with a five-minute break between games. Hikaru Nakamura will play with the Black pieces in all games, and will receive odds of two pawns from Dragon. The latest release from Komodo, of which Dragon is one part, incorporates multiple new features including personalities and armageddon mode. It represents a major improvement on prior versions of Komodo, which was already rated 3596 in the latest Computer Ratings and is one of the strongest chess engines in the world.

Dragon is a new chess engine that adds NNUE technology to Komodo. The match will be an exciting battle between artificial intelligence and humans at the highest possible level, and will serve as a test of the new 'Dragon' engine's capabilities. In all games, Nakamura will receive odds of two pawns and will play Black. Starting November 18th, GM Hikaru Nakamura will play an eight-game odds match against the new 'Dragon' chess engine developed by Komodo.
