The "mystery" engine is called Torch. I'll refer you to this article: https://www.chess.com/news/view/torch-chess-engine
Also, Torch has no chance of winning, as evidenced in the previous rounds.

you're probably right about winning chances, but torch also lost to Dragon in the Dragon vs Mystery rapid matchup, and now beat Dragon. It might not beat Stockfish this finals, but is on the road to do so.
The Mystery engine goes into the last 250 games of the challenger match with a 32 game lead over Dragon. Mystery score: 391/750 Dragon score: 359/750 At this rate, Mystery will end the Challenger Match with a 43 game lead! We haven't seen an engine take on Stockfish in the finals other than Leela or Dragon. Mystery could even have a chance to beat Stockfish in the finals at this rate! The last engine to defeat Stockfish in the finals was Leela, but Leela has been knocked out of the Challenger Match. It will be an exciting to see some other engine than Lc0 or Dragon in the finals! I would like to hear your thoughts about the Mystery engine more than likely making it to the finals.
