Vikrant,

Anand is perhaps slightly stronger as regards his elo rating and I'd concede
that he is likely to be a more rounded player today. The problem however is that
computer technology and program developement have easily kept pace with human
improvement in chess skill. I still feel that Anand would find Hydra a major
challenge and I very much doubt that he would "crush" it in a match.
