Why do u leave out Anand and Topalov? Anand played and won against Rebel in Classical Games even though they were less and played 7 years ago, Anand's strength has also improved over a period of time and he will be sucessful. Infact the match(Hydra vs Any Human Top Player) should have been after the World Championship between the winner of the World Chamiponship. Topalov played Hydra,Junior and Fritz in Bilbao and performed really well, currently he is at his best. > >You also say: > >">One other disadvantage is that Adams can go through the Games of the Hydra >>whciah were played by 16 processor clustor and not the 32 Processor monster, >>whether he will be able to find any weaknesses? I doubt that the same weaknesses >>will be there in 32 processor clustor that is going to play the match." > >Assuming this makes a difference in how a strong human would prepare against >Hydra, then i would like to point out that these circumstances would be exactly >the same no matter who plays Hydra and i don't see why you use that as an >example of how Adams is the weakest to face the computer... > >Last but not least, you did not say (previously) that Adams was the weakest GM >to face Hydra, you said he was the weakest GM in the top 10, i see that you >changed your mind on this. No i still believe that he is the weakest, if u study his games carefully u will always find him avoiding sharp tactics and that is the strength of the Computers. Ivanchuk,Bacrot,Swidler,Polgar are better at tactics then him and are less likely to make blunders against Computers. Kasparov,Anand,u simply can not compare with Adams, as they are class apart. Topalov,Leko are better on current form. > >My vote in the poll on the match outcome was on 4.5 - 1.5 in Hydras favor (3 >draws and 3 wins for Hydra) so i don't leave Adams many chances, there is only >one player in the top 10 that i would give better chances, but he is now >retired. Adams has some chances , Hydra will win 3-2 proably with One win and rest draws for Hydra. I dont agree with u that there is only one player who has better chances, I think all Incl. Anand,Topalov,Leko have better chances than Adams.
