In the games against Hydra he could not buy hydra so he had no way to play against it to see if it does not play well some type of positions. I can add that in the case of the commercial it was not fair what some opponents did when they gave the program more time to analyze when they did not like it's move. Arno Nickel could probably get slightly better result in fair conditions against the commercial programs but nothing close to the 100% score that he seems to get against hydra. Uri
