some time ago, I counted the score of hydra against higher rating on playchess
it was something like 17 ou 18 on 20 games against strongest Shredder 9 (on
hardware more than 3 times faster than ssdf's one + very optimized book !!), but
I saw 2 lost against latest deep fritz 8 (may be his worst opponent ?)

On ssdf list, I would say hydra will get about 2820 (estimated elo for S9) + 80
(3 times faster) + 250 (perf of 17/20) =  3150 !!

Now, may be the butcher is a more suitable name than hydra ! LOL !

The match against Nigel Short in june will be delightfull to be seen ...
