 I really hope a match between Shredder and Hydra, now that you know the huge
strength of the second and you will be prepared properly. But i would like a 14
or more games match, for having a good indication of the strength.....

 Since many believe that hardware differences is not so important as we think,
while i believe that in this high level even small hardware differences can make
the difference, can you give an approximation of the expected ELO difference
between:
"Shredder+Dual" , "Shredder+Quad" , "Shredder+8 CPU's" , "Shredder+16
CPU's"....?

I would like to hear your opinion and your guesses about this.......
