definately a draw. I played this out against a computer as white. I thought for a while I could win with my 3 pawns against 2 pawns, but the black bishop has no problem blocking.

lame draw
Aronion should try to win.. he is defending champion!!!
The only way for either side to win this would be because of a blunder right? The question is do they play another 40 moves each, hoping for the rare chance of a blunder? Why exhaust yourself for a minuscule chance?
How many copy game in a tournament ? should be funny to see this line again (3 times = record).
