It's a path near to perfect, perfection is a "chimera" , but it's stronger than
strongest humans listening to Mr. Adams words...that is why it's so damn
difficult to beat:

From Adams interview at chessbase
...
"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."
