I guess that Aristarch was simply lucky in the first match and unlucky in the second match. For now Jonny-Movei at 20 minutes per game 6-6 In the last 2 games Jonny showed poor play in the endgame. In one game it allowed draw by repetition in a position with 2 pawn advantage and in the second game it lost endgame with opposite colour bishops that it evaluated as +1 for itself because it overevaluated some passed pawns Uri
