It's pure speculation. Both Hydra and Deep Blue have their fans, so there will
never be an agreement. Deep Blue was faster, doubtless, but chess programming
algorithms have improved since Deep Blue's days. My personal opinion? I just
don't know.

There's only one way to resolve the issue. Hydra's programmers should challenge
Deep Blue to a match, giving IBM adequate time to reassemble the machine. If
Deep Blue fails to accept the challenge, Hydra can claim victory by default.
