We theoretically study the quench dynamics for an isolated Heisenberg spin chain with a random on-site magnetic field, which is one of the paradigmatic models of a many-body localization transition. We use the time-dependent variational principle as applied to matrix product states, which allows us to controllably study chains of a length up to L=100 spins. We find that the consideration of the larger system sizes substantially increases the estimate for the critical disorder that separates the ergodic and many-body localized regimes, compared to the values in the literature. From a technical perspective, we develop an adaptation of the ``learning by confusion'' machine-learning approach that can determine the critical disorder.
