The machines are up 1.5 - 0.5 and in the remaining three games, the computers all have, at minimum, decent positions. There is a legitimate possibility that the GMs will not win a single game. I think that the Ferret/Vaganian game is the most interesting from the computer chess point of view. Against a human, Vaganian would have had a "crushing kingside attack." However, Ferret is not a human and so it defended with elan and precision and is now two pawns up. The day will soon come when GMs are forced to concede that they can no longer launch successful mating attacks against computers when there are a substantial number of pieces on the board.
