Nothing compares to world championship. Everyone has good hardware in world championships. In Paderborn i'm probably dual k7 2.1ghz again. An official world championship is the place where you got to show your stuff. It's true this world champs was organized in a hurry, but 10.5 out of 11 from Zappa is a very clear signal that someone is *a lot* stronger than the rest. Hydra of course doesn't join world champs, because with its good hardware which it can use every day, it would not win the world champs, but has a good chance in tiny events. Vincent
