Chrilly is not important in the Hydra team in decision aspect. All non-technical decisions get taken by others. Above Chrilly the palgames hydra team manager is a Pakistani, cluster expert, who prays 6 times a day and whose objectives are quite a bit different than your objectives are. First of all chess is not relevant at all and secondly the only thing that counts is pleasing the sheikh. Additional above the Pakistani are 2 more fellows, so in important decisions he is not taking part either. It is an entire chain of command who takes decisions and the decisions always get taken by those who know nothing about chess nor who care about it. A world championship computerchess is only relevant therefore when the sheikh says it is relevant. Vincent >>-- >>GCP
