Humans today have more experience against computers relative to 1997 and it is not clear to me that Kasparov of 1997 was stronger against computers relative to Adams of 2005. I also think that the fact that Kasparov lost says nothing because the 2 games that kasparov lost were because of stupid mistakes of him because of psychological reasons(resigning in a drawn position and playing a line that he was not ready to play). Hydra is also more known than Deeper blue was known at the time of Kasparov Kasparov could get no games of something similiar to deeper blue(deep thought was clearly weaker) when Adams has no problem to get games of something similiar to hydra.
