3 draws for Garry.
Originally posted by @ogbWith an IQ of 180 or so he will learn how the younger gen plays and the next time will be different. Remember, blitz and rapid don't require heavy thinking for hours on end, that plays to the older crowd.

A 12 year lay off from competitive chess and to a certain extent age
took their toll. Five of the players, Nakamura, Karjakin, Nepo, Navara
and Quang Liem were not even born when Garry was World Champion.
He had good and even winning positions in some games but hesitation
and some excellent fighting chess from his opponents caught him out.
His loss v Nepomniachtchi was good chess at this speed.
