Looks like - note:
"The match has been sanctioned by the International Computer Games Association
(ICGA) as the First Official World Chess Championship Man vs Machine played in
total virtual reality."

So the title to gain seems to be "Official ICGA World Chess Champion Man vs
Machine played in total virtual reality." Maybe next time they will try a First
Official World Chess Championship Man vs Machine with Man standing on one foot
-who knows ..
