 I also disagree with Kurt but there are better ways to express it than yours:-)

 I believe that a 2200 player against current Hydra on 32 CPU's, will lose 6-0
or 5.5-0.5. But this 6-0 will happen 8-9 times out of 10 series of 6-games,
while the 5.5-0.5 only 1. If the 2200 would be lucky enough to be at this single
time he would have a successful result.......

 A top GM is the best choice but he should change his style a bit. Becoming a
little anti-computer is critical.........And i don't mean to play exclusively
with an anti-comp strategy, but only simple things like: a closed opening,
trading Queens, prefer quiet positions, creating invinsible(for comps)
attacks,etc........
