It isn't important whether it's 4 or 8 cpu's there. it takes 5 seconds for the
cards to start working. So it does never compare to how it plays in say 60 in 2.

Further it is the case that its hyper agressive play will only be good in
certain openings which they most likely won't show at the internet.

I am very annoyed by the people laughing loud for hydra at the internet. Let
them show up at a tournament instead of post nonsense here.

Best regards,
Vincent
