The question if GM's can play better.

I hope that they can do it.
I think that they should play for a draw and take a win only if they are lucky.

Kasimdzhanov seem to play closed position against hydra and it is probably good.
He does not need to win against hydra because draw with black is not bad.

Maybe he can even win on time by having a long game of more than 256 moves.
I think that chessbase clearly deserve losing on time because they did not fix
the bug of losing on time after more than 256 moves and they will not going to
learn to fix the bug unless they lose a game in important tournament.

They do not care when pablo beat engines on time with 260-270 moves.
Perhaps if a GM does it to them they will care abour it.

Note that the problem is simply a bug in the interface that does not send
correct time after more than 256 moves so the engine believes that it has more
time then it really has and lose on time.
