The preparation against a monster like this is relative as Adams also said and by the way...he isn't only a chess player , he is super GM Michael Adams, please keep more respect for the GM's. > >It is not only the one game that Michael showed, but also that Hydra didn't get >to the quarter final in the freestyle chess challenge, outperformed by two 1800 >players using PC programs... > >I don't want to make Hydra look bad, it is really strong, maybe the strongest >chess computer on the planet, maybe tactically the most consistent chess player, >but I doubt it's generally the best chess player, and it's definitely _not_ god. A little comment from an real expert...David Levy: "Incidentally the comments I have seen thus far on Adams' performance in the match all appear to omit to mention how well Hydra played. To my mind Hydra played like the Bobby Fischer we knew and loved in the 1960s and early 1970s. Hydra's style was as clear as crystal, its moves were direct, to the point, and rather devastating. Amidst all the negatives being uttered about this match, should we not be fair in our praise of the victor? " w.b.r. Otello
