Deep Blue would not even get 2500 SSDF.The reason there are no challenges
against Hydra is clear:Just look at the 2 Bilbao match results 3.5 out of 8 in
2004 and 4 out of 8 in 2005:Here some simple Math the sum of both scores in two
years 7.5 does not even equal 8.Human GMs (or anybody else) are simply too weak
to pose a seroius challenge to the programs.
