GM Joel Benjamin is willing to play an exhibition Chess960 or FRC game on the 10 of August with the White Pieces using the same time control used on the Pawn Odd match, but with NO Pawn Odd handicup for Rybka. Who do you think it will win this exhibition Chess960 match
PS: GM Benjamin is NOT too familiar playing Chess960, therefore, Rybka will win easy even with a Pawn Odd in FRC, but it would be interesting to see an exhibition match of the Current FRC World champion using this time control versus Rybka, but it would be interesting to see a match with the same time control versus GM Artur Jussupow, or the current FRC World Champion.

Who are the current FRC computer and human world champions? I remember a few years back it was Spike and Svidler. Not sure who it is now. Usually good positional players play FRC very well. I would think Kramnik and Aronian would play especially well in this format and Hiarcs and Rybka as computers. Not sure if there is an FRC Rybka ... but I am sure it would be very simple to setup a position manually for Rybka to play FRC.

The current FRC computer champion is Shredder, but this year Rybka will also play, and it is in the beta stage at this moment. The current Human Champion is Aronian , but Anand will also play FRC at Mainz.
PS: My two cents is that Rybka and Anand will take both championships
