Well, a few lines of the Hydra-FPGA-code, but I do not publish real Hydra secrets in the New Yorker. So the code is rather trivial. The author Tom Mueller has asked several people for months about almost everything in Computer-Chess. He could have written 3 books from the material. But then he has to make a story and to skip interesting things like the one above. I think he has done a good job to explain a non-technical reader the computer chess scene. Chrilly Donninger
