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.........
