Two clear and honest answers from Adams I would like to report from interview: Q)So you didn’t really have much time to prepare for the match at all? A) Well, we actually signed the contract one month before the match, which is not really enough for preparation. Maybe you could say I would’ve been better off with better preparation, but I don’t think it would’ve made a great deal of difference. Perhaps I would’ve lost 1:5 instead of 0.5:5.5, but I doubt if it changed anything radically. Q)Do you think Adams versus Hydra 2005 is going to be remembered as THE turning point in the race against machines? A) I think it proves that Hydra is a much stronger ‘player’ than any other computer in the world. We may not be able to measure its strength in Elo, but it is huge. I also suspect Hydra is stronger than any other human opponent. Okay, it has to be proved in the future, but this is my impression at the moment and I suspect it is accurate. I mean from my point of view I don’t think I played terribly. I did my best and it just wasn’t good enough.
