Junior thinks white slightly better about 0.20-0.25. I think white's center is a
bit better, and the bishops are well placed.
Junior thought it equalized after 17.Bb2 (expected 17.Bxc5) and took the
advantage after 23.Bd5 (expected Bxf7+)

Varguz disconnected before or after white's 64th move, and when he returned the
draw was agreed. The game was resumed for the formal draw offer. I didn't see
black's last move Ke6. I think it's a mistake, and white can try to win with
65.Rb7. White can have a draw by repetition now, or any time later by sacing the
rook and stalemate.
