I'm not saying that their lying. I think their stretching the truth. Maybe, In
some variations the book is only 10 moves deep. In other variations it's deeper.
This game looks like a clear case of preparing for a specific opponent. They
followed a game Adams played recently and Hydra plays a novelty! It seems
obvious to me that it was prepared.
