No.

Crafty was written by Dr. Hyatt as was Cray Blitz.
There will be similarities between them, but they are not the same program.

Hydra has hardware accelerators.  So something like Rxa4 is a CPU instruction --
hardwired into the FPGA.

It's a highly similar idea to Deep Blue (or Belle for that matter).

The fundamental algorithms of Hydra will probably be highly similar to the
fundamental algorithms of Nimzo (or any other chess program, for that matter).
