I do not know. I only say that results in blitz and rapid time control may be different so they do not prove that 1...e5 is a bad choice against 1.e4. I agree that the results of adams against hydra suggest that it is a bad choice but I do not claim to know and another possibility is that it is bad luck for adams that hydra chose lines that he did not know how to play and adams tried 1...e5 at home against 1.e4 and found that he has better chances to win against the top programs relative to other opening. My guess is that it is not the case and adams did not prepare for the match by playing long time control games against chess programs but it is only a guess and I may be wrong. Uri
