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.

Wow I can’t believe these guys are now the guys playing for the world championship. I remember playing Fabiano in the local chess park when he was like 14 :)

They’ve come a long way indeed!

Another nail-biting draw!

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.
