Hydra is not the stroungest program out there its the stroung computer chess
system, there is a big differance. Put anyone of the other top 10 programs out
there (on the ssdf) using 16 processors and you will see hydra has problems.
I realize that these other programs cant do that ( go up to 16
processors)however hydra can be reduced to = the hardwar of the other programs.
The hydra team are experts on computers not on chess. Now Stefan Meyer Kahlen is
an expert chess programing. A fair statement that even the hydra team would
agree to!
