Gentlemen, Now that the introductions are over regarding anti-chess strategies, opinions and personalities, perhaps a "what if" hypothesis should be thrown out to talk about. Since Michael Adams is a Super GM chess professional, he makes his living at playing chess. With that stated, why wouldn't (couldn't) he use the well known stategies of anti-chess and win a quick $60,000 by drawing all the games (@ $10,000 per draw) with Hydra in next month's tournament 6 game tournament? It would seem simple enough to me for Adams to have the capacity to do this using anti-chess methods. Why should he play into the strength of Hydra and stand a very good chance of becoming a loser in each? It's obvious Hydra has significant weaknesses with anti-chess tactics. Would it be considered unethical for Adams to do this? Afterall, the Hydra team states over and over again that they are "the strongest chess entity in the world" and as far as I can see, by using anti-chess tecniques by a truly Super GM, it could be an easy $60,000 for Adams. Insults and criticisms are welcome. I have a thick skin! :) DHM
