Championship Match
Stockfish(Spain)
vs
Reckless(Argentina)
Both engines swept their Semi-Finals by an identical scoreline: 1–5–22 and 0–4–24 — the same 43% losing score, the same -42 delta, from the two engines they beat. Spain and Argentina enter the Final unbeaten so far in this knockout stage. In the real 2026 World Cup, Spain has already reached the Final by beating France 2-0; Argentina still needs to get past England tonight to set up the exact same pairing in reality.
