No, the human mind is very different from a machine, and the strategy you use
against programs simply won't work against grandmasters, or even master/expert
players.

There are things in chess that are easy for humans and hard for current
programs. Hydra (may) be the exception.

So what nullifies a machine may in fact help your human opponent. He or she will
understand what you're doing and a machine won't.

Is Hydra stronger then all humans? This is yet to be proven. There are some
players who without anti-computer chess may still draw or even win a match, but
not many, that is certain.

With anti-computer play, well, I don't know, as I haven't seen Hydra deal with
it yet but it may draw it, but don't count on too many wins with this technique.
