Hydra performed very badly in the recent Freestyle Chess competition run by ChessBase - competitors were a variety of GMs and amateurs assisted by databases and computers. The two Hydra machines did not even make it into the final 16. Interesting that the eventual winners were a couple of amateurs using not very special hardware/software and they beat a selection of computer-and super-GM-assisted GMs. On this evidence the "strongest chess entity on the planet" is a database administrator + a soccer coach + 3 ordinary PCs :) Links: http://chessbase.com/newsdetail.asp?newsid=2446 http://chessbase.com/newsdetail.asp?newsid=2461 http://chessbase.com/newsdetail.asp?newsid=2467
