Maybe, maybe not, i see your point, but Chrilly have one too; when we get such a
result against such a strong GM who plays the same against the computer as he
does human, we get a better understanding of it's _potential_ strength as it is
not based on expert anti computer play, and BTW i think Adams has played really
good so far.

That being said i think there is too much hype on both sides when it comes to
these matches, what we can objectively conclude so far is that Hydra can match
the big guys, perhaps even beat them, time will tell.
