The Baron played a 2-game match of Fischer Random chess against Levon Aronian this year. Obviously no opening book was used, and on request of the organization the Baron also played without endgame database access. Both games ended in a draw. The engine was at never in trouble. You can find the games at http://www.chesstigers.de/alte_daten/chesstigers_alt/Tigers/cc/2004/e/default.htm As a preparation the Baron played in a simultaneous event against our club-champion. I removed the opening book access during that game. Due to the unusual setup in the opening phase the human quickly lost track of the game and resigned in 11 moves. Btw, this game was played _before_ I improved the piece development evaluation in the Baron. NN - The Baron 1.3.1 beta 4 1.Nf3 d5 2.g3 Bf5 3.Bg2 e6 4.O-O Nf6 5.d3 Bc5 6.Nbd2 O-O 7. Re1?
