Dann, In time it would be interesting to obtain all the games Hydra played on the Chessbase server with the myriad of different hardware and programs it has played against and let the experts take a good look at what it has accomplished. To date, the results of Hydra on the Playchess server are quite impressive by percentage. However, it certainly is not unbeatable. It would also be interesting for Hydra to play on ICC for an ever more complete overall evaluation. Many, including me, would be curious to simply play against it and take our lumps. DHM
