Maxime Vachier-Lagrave's Top 5 Most Brilliant Moves
GM David Smerdon (2508 rating) is going to play a rapid match of six games vs Komodo, the 2019 World Computer Chess Champion (estimated rating of 3421).
The match, held in conjunction with a special anniversary issue of the "ICGA Journal" (International Computer Games Association), will consist of six games with a time control of 15 minutes and a 10-second increment per move.

Smerdon plays black in every game; Komodo will be missing a knight in the starting positions, alternating from removing it from b1 an g1. It will be the first formal match on record in which a grandmaster takes knight odds in rapid (as opposed to blitz) chess from any opponent and similar to the handicap games that were popular in the 18th and 19th centuries
