I don't know if Edward Nemeth has any >results against the Hydra team on Playchess. DHM Have he ever beat Hydra in a straight game, meaning not on time? Have you seen all his losses in the process? How many drawn and won games are we talking about (against Hydra)? and have you seen them? Do you consider a win on time at 3 0 a success? Do you think he could beat Hydra in a similar match that Adams is up for under the same conditions, using his "antichess" strategy? Do you think he could even draw Hydra under the above mentioned conditions? These are just a few questions that i think is important to ask in order to find the answer to this "antichess" hype.
