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
