Now this surprises me a bit:

"I wasn’t really concerned about that possibility. In any case it would be
impossible for me to tell, because Hydra plays a very different game to any
other computer that I ever saw. Even in these six games it actually played
differently to anything I saw in its own previous games, so it’s not easy to
judge. But no, I don’t have any suspicions about human intervention. That’s not
something that concerned me."

A replayed the matches live on Hiarcs 9.6 and Fruit 2.1 on my 2 computers, and I
would say above 95% of Hydras moves were suggested by at least one of them.
Especially Fruit did very well in predicting Hydras moves.
Therefore the sentence "Hydra palys a very different game to any other computer
that I ever saw" leaves me a bit out in the cold.
