To me it looked like the journalist did not know the chess issues very well, and
was kind of just writing a patriotic article based on information from the Hydra
team, without really understanding it in detail.

Maybe Hydra indeed is going to play Fritz and Junior, but didn't they just play
engine vs. human last time? I can see no clear information in the article that
this is going to change.
