It saw GM Levon Aronian take on the Dutch program The Baron by Richard Pijl in the Fischer Random variant of chess. Both games were drawn, with Aronian making what the organisers' home page describes as "an hilarious mistake" – he forgot the exact castling rules for the queenside and had to be corrected by the computer program. The final score was 1:1. http://www.chessbase.com/newsdetail.asp?newsid=1831 PS: also take into consideration that Richard used a Dual SMP machine and for this match it will be a standard single P4 processor.
