We dont want Anti-computer Chess against Hydra, it wont suffice, we want accurate play in open positions and positional play whenever needed only then u can tame that beast.(Adams did play that kind of chess but erred much too often.) Also what Pablo achieved on Playchess.com and numerous Engines beating Hydra was at fast time control and are irrelevent at longer time controls against Hydra. Regards Vikrant
