It also could be that home analysis/preparation was not sufficient in this last game. My guess is that Gary was smiling when DJ took the g4 pawn because he could win the position vs a slower machine or vs most humans. DJs defence may have shocked him. It might also remove some of his confidence. Maybe the next 3 games will give a clue. In any case, game 3 was very interesting.
