It may be result of bad luck in the choice of the openings. I did not analyze hydra's games but unlike games of humans luck in the choice of the opening is a significant factor in games of chess programs. strong humans usually do not have x% probability of choosing 1.e4 c5 and y% probability of chooisng 1.e4 e5 and z% probablity of choosing 1.e4 c6,... The result is that strong humans are more stable than chess programs Note that I also do not know if hydra(not complete version) was stronger than computer opponents at the relevant time control. Uri
