It's the first time since 1978 (Karpov-Kortchnoi) that a world chess championship begins with 7 draws, the longest draw in a raw beggining in a world chess championship !
Welcome to modern, boring chess. I wish we still had hyper-aggressive grandmasters like Mikhail Tal.

Am I understanding correctly that the score of 0 at the top means that the chess engine thinks their positions are exactly equally good?
When it's close to 0, it means the engine thinks the position is equal. But usually when it's exactly 0, the machine thinks the best move to play next must lead to a draw. As, in the next best move will lead to a worse position for the player making the move.

If Mikhail Tal was alive today, he would play boring chess, too. Otherwise modern GMs would just accept his sacrifices, not make any mistakes, and win.

The computer age has unfortunately sort of crushed that style of play :( It's hard to play sacrificially when the engine refutes your attacks

Players like Tal had their share of boring games, it's just that we remember the crazy ones because they're fun.
Magnus Carlsen with a rating of 2835 is playing against Fabiano Caruana with a rating of 2832. This is their 7th game. They tied for all the previous 6.
