Not everybody agrees.
I have no idea if Hydra is the best computer or it is not the best computer.

I do not know of result of objective testers who tested Hydra.
Not that I trust "objective" testers because
I remember in the past "objective" testers who tested Shredder5 to find that it
is 100 elo better than Fritz6 when there was no basis for that claim.

I am also not sure if shredder is the best software.
It is possible that there is a program that is 200 elo better than shredder8 but
the progrmmer does not like to release it or to participate in tournaments.

After all not everybody cares about making money and I understood that the
programmer of smarthink is not going to sell it for ideaological reasons even if
it beomes number 1.
