The logical plan that I think about is to douible rooks in the g file and play g4. I do not claim to know that it can work against hydra but if it can work it is clearly faster win than h6 h5 h4,... that I suggested. Note that I see the game is in the playchess site but I cannot copy it because copy game does not work for me and I am too lazy to copy manually. Uri
