Jonas,

There have been enough games played against the Hydra team by Pablo and
occasionally a few others that were draws with an occasional win using the
anti-chess strategy.  Pablo is an amatuer, not a professional, and he does it
often enough to create doubt.  Wouldn't you consider this a serious weakness
from "The strongest chess entity in the world?" It would seem to me if a mere
mortal amatuer can do this, the basis for a serious weakness is established.  I
am asking you, not telling you.

Pablo doesn't even have a FIDE rating.  I don't know if Edward Nemeth has any
results against the Hydra team on Playchess.  DHM
