Thanks but no thanks.

I searched the web and found the performance rating calculator on
http://www.uschess.org/ratings/calculator.html

Here is the answer that I was looking (in 6 games match if Adams is rated 2737)

Hydra scores 0.5 points: performance rating: 2320
points: 1   performance rating: 2457
points: 1.5 performance rating: 2546
points: 2   performance rating: 2617
points: 2.5 performance rating: 2679
points: 3   performance rating: 2737
points: 3.5 performance rating: 2795
points: 4   performance rating: 2857
points: 4.5 performance rating: 2928
points: 5   performance rating: 3017
points: 5.5 performance rating: 3154

So yes, it's still possible for Hydra after giving one draw to achieve the
performance rating of 3000 in the match.
