The 14th Computer Olympiad took place from May 10 to 18, 2009, at Palacio del Condestable, Pamplona, Navarre, Spain, in conjunction with the 17th World Computer Chess Championship, and the Advances in Computer Games 12 conference.

Chess was played without hardware limit, while the WCCC allowed only computers in a single box. Rybka and Deep Sjeng played on a cluster with 6x8 and 7x8 cores respectively. In June 2011, Rybka was disqualified by the ICGA.
