I think you over-overestimate Hydra's ability. A 3000 ELO means that in a game against Kasparov, Hydra should have a 75% performance. So in a 10 game match it should have +5 =5 -0. This is completely a fantasy.........And when we are going to players below Kasparov then the performance reaches 85%+, clearly unreachable, so i think that kind of ELO's estimation is wrong......... >Lately I saw it running on Playchess (zor_champ) with about 130.000 kn/sec. >I guess the program is a souped up version of NIMZO by Chr.
