Subject: Hydra Mystery Remains Unsolved

The fact is that Hydra whipped a bunch of conventional chess computers at
Paderborn.  That fact is indisputable.

How???

How could Hydra, chugging away at the clock rate of a slow snail, win against
the high-nps conventional machines?

They say "nps isn't everything."  But could the truth be "nps isn't anything"?

Maybe conventional wisdom ["The Earth is flat"] isn't right after all.

Does anybody understand what happened?  I feel that the results were monumental!
