Subject: I predict that Adams will either win, lose, or draw

Due to the principle of trichotomy, I feel fairly confident in my assertion.

I think that when a super GM decides to play for a draw, he can probably achieve
it.  (We have seen some good examples of GMs playing anticomputer chess).

I think if they try to win, then the outcome is far more uncertain.

So, if we see lots of closed positions, I predict a draw.

If we see lots of open positions, I predict a Hydra win.  But if Hydra played
100 games agains Adams first, I predict that Adams would win.

Of course, all guesses are wild guesses, because we really have no idea.

I do think that the time has come for Super GMs to consider anticomputer ideas.

I don't think we really know how strong Hydra is.  Not enough games.  We do know
that it is very strong.  There could be a fault in hardware or software.  If
such a fault were discovered, it might be possible to exploit it again and
again.
