I got different informations. Anand does not like to play against computers and
said during the machtes with Kasparov and Kramnik that he would not like to
change  with Kramnik and Kasparov who faced as he said very tough opponents. I
think Anand does not want to play since he knows he will probably loose. For one
million I think he would play but I'm not sure whether Pal-Group will invest so
much money.

By the way Anand would loose against Hydra as every human being on this planet
without computer assistance.

But a match against Fritz, Shredder or Junior could be interesting given they
ran on not too fast hardware.
