Already, last year's event in Bilbao was a sign that things were looking bleak for the humans. In Bilbao, it was not so much the performance of Hydra that was so impressive, but Fritz's score of 3.5/4 against Ponomariov, Topalov and Kariakin (twice). Hydra, which made the same score, was running on its special-purpose hardware but Fritz was running on a laptop computer from the local department store. > >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? > >kburcham
