Hi: In Leon in 1998, Kasparov played Topalov a match of what Kasparov calls "Advanced Chess"; both players could consult Pentium II 333 mhz computers running Fritz 5 during the rapid (one-hour each player) games. They drew the match, each player winning 3 games. One month earlier, Kasparov had defeated Topalov 4-0 in Sofia in chess without computers. Perhaps the computers were an equalizer in Leon. But I don't know if we can assume too much from one match. Incidentally, the games from these two matches are covered in New In Chess magazine, issue 1998 Number 4. Cheers, Mark
