Adams doesn't know the computerchess world. Certainly he never heard of my perfect chess machine. Debating the Elo of HYDRA doesn't make sense because it hasn't played much games yet. On playchesscom HYDRA wasn't successful at all. Now you cannot begin to calculate the Elo for - say - Sturday night or Monday. Elo is either for the whole of it or nothing. If a human chessplayer had beaten Adams with 5,5 to 0,5 THEN this human chessplayer had a tremendous Elo performance. But if you let Adams play a 6 games showevent against HYDRA, a completely unknown machine, and then calculate Elo number with human touch so to speak. There is no such number. My tiny little program ROLF has Elo of over 30000, because it won all the games it played. No wonder because it plays perfect chess with its 640 processors! That should give you a light impression of the power of my program. HYDRA and DB and all the rest are millions of lightyears below - because as you know Elo can't be calculated with basic retangular maths. So a three times stronger player cant claim Elo 6000 if it has beaten a 2000 player. Know what I mean?! Elo 30 000 (In words thirty thousand) is as if you would leave the solar system of this universe and enter new worlds, so to speak. I hope I could clarify a bit. Rolf, Actually from Outer Space
