That's right. After hearing the commentators closely, i learnt that the e4 move could have been taken back.

It is definitely allowed, and common, to take back the ceremonial first move and play the one you want. Aronian had planned to go 1.e4 in this game, and Francesco Tristano's choice had no influence whatsoever on the game.

@Evargalo I always assumed that Aronian just informed Tristano earlier that he'd prefer 1. e4.

@HarryWeasley that also happens. I don't know how exactly it was done in Berlin, but at least in Kramnik said in his comments that he was expecting Aronian to take back 1.e4
