Topalov had Hydra pinned to the matt, but let the deamon up and only got a draw. Hydra has lost some corr. games as well. I'd like to see Topalov take on Hydra or Anand...Kramnik maybe or Leko, the best would be Kasparov but not much hope of that. Adams just isn't in good enough form to slay this creature, it may turn out to be a shutout with Hydra not losing a single game. Adams should have just played quiet chess going for draws.
