Maybe some humans believe that he hand the better position because
they are too materialistic when computers have better evaluation
(I believe that Junior never saw clear advantage for white).


I also think that it is not fair to say that
the side who got the advantage controlled the game when the game was drawn.

knowing to transform an advantage to a winning position
is part of the game of chess.

If player x gets advantage against y but cannot translate
the advantage to more than 50% then it means that
x is not stronger than y.
