I don´t understand your argumentation: Shredder is tuned for computer (absolutely correct) Hydra is tuned for human players (I don´t fully agree, it was probably only tuned for the Adams match) I don´t understand your conclusion Shredder therefore would get killed in such a match. AFAIK know Hydra is a computer. Are you better informed than we are. Is Hydra a Turk with Bobby Fischer inside? :) Michael >Pit Junior against Hydra and you have a match, and a great one.
