We know Kasparov, even then, was a much stronger player than Adams is today. If
Hydra, supposedly stronger than Deep Blue, loses to a much weaker player, then
that provides a strong argument that Hydra is weaker than Deep Blue.

On the other hand, if Adams loses, then it says nothing about Hydra's strength
relative to Deep Blue.

I guess you could always argue that Deep Blue can beat Kasparov and Kasparov can
beat Adams and Adams can beat Hydra and Hydra can beat Deep Blue, but it doesn't
seem likely. Particularly if Adams can get a convincing score.
