Unfortunately the games were rather dull. GM Aronian did not take any risk, and especially in game 2 (with black) he traded queens very early. Perhaps his main intention was not to lose a game... If this is true a pre-event interview by Richard Pijl might have helped him. On July 30, the event website had it: ... Question by Eric van Reem: What is the difference between Chess960 and normal classical chess for a computerprogram like The Baron? Richard Pijl: Since I didn´t have to concentrate on an opening book my effort was concentrated on improving middlegame and endgame play. But there are more differences. In standard chess the development is completed when the rooks are mobile. In Chess960 that is not necessarily the case. ** I've seen a lot of games where the queen started at a1 and never ** left that square because the Baron didn't know that also the ** queen needs develoment to e.g. a square such as c2 or d2... When I would have been Aronian my conclusion would have been that the Baron would develop the queen rather early - and this would help me in a queen-exchange strategy (which is typically good against computer programs). Maybe Richard Pijl and Aronian had a discussion on this after the games?! Ingo Althofer.
