Well, I disagree with you.  He is winning and has played well.  If he wins
today, then I will say he is dominating.  If he should lose today, then it is
tied and if it is a draw today then the match is still close, just as it is
right now.

One point is not dominating in my opinion, but a good performance so far.

The last game showed me again how hard it is to win against the comps, even when
you are rated 2700, have the white pieces, well prepard, understand computers,
large incentive and get a great positional advantage.
