Even the best computer programs don’t play perfect chess, but for practical purposes the evaluation of a position by a top computer program can be thought of as the objective truth. I suppose it’s worth mentioning that computers are by far the strongest chess-playing entities, easily capable of beating the best human players even if the computer is given a significant disadvantage at the start (such as being down a pawn). They are aided in this by computers that can evaluate the positions “objectively”, and occasionally they will indeed mention what the computer suggests, but much of the time the commenters ignore the computer and discuss their own evaluations. It would take some real commitment to watch the games in real time in their entirety, but if you choose to do so there is excellent coverage in which strong grandmasters discuss the positions and speculate on what might be played next. The reigning champ, Magnus Carlsen, is almost certain to retain his title (I’ll offer 12:1 if anyone is interested!).
There have been some really good games and some really lousy ones - the challenger, Ian Nepomniachtchi (universally known as ‘Nepo’) has played far below his capabilities in a few games. The World Chess Championship is going on right now. A position from Game 2 of the 2021 World Chess Championship match.
