Well it seems maybe things have changed.
Has Hydra been given a huge amount of chess knowledge that Nimzo did not have?
I assume that this chess knowledge came from several 2500+ GM.

Or maybe I must now say that the top 20 Chess programs of today, if they played
on Hydra hardware can beat a 2700+ GM most of the time.

What about BamBam, Anaconda, Movei, etc...can these beat 2700+ Super GM on Hydra
hardware?

Wonder how much code was changed from Nimzo to Hydra that is strength related,
or do we say it is only the depth?

In other words if we have a 1000 game tournament with:
Hiarcs 9, Crafty, Diep, Pro Deo, Shredder 9, Deep Fritz, Chess Master, Junior,
Fruit, Chess Tiger, Gandalf, Hydra----and they all play on 3 gig AMD vs 3 gig
AMD with same hash---what would the result be?
