The guy seemed really interested. Let's see how far this goes. I'm sure the Sheikh knows what ICC is. Hydra been there too, manual operated at the time by Erdogan. It's pretty much kicking butt at playchess server under different accounts. Sheikh always uses his tournament book to play online, by doing that it's the only program doing this. Just based upon that it already has very small chances to win a world title. You can see all the lines you can get on the board online. Any GM preparing for hydra can eyes closed kick it if their weakness would not be money and main objctive to score a few points against it. Just follow it online. Refute 1 line from it and you win. I wonder how much money Anand gets paid in order to do what is in the 'contract'. Sheikh got more money than Bill Gates of course. Vincent
