Thats what I wanted to point out, for me the software part of Hydra is commonly
underestimated because of the hardware it is running on. Even on "slow" hardware
it knows a lot how to create an attacking position and keep advantage of it.
Give a lousy program two hours per move and play it against shredder and you
will see how many winns you will get.
