Its tournament results are very convincing. Hydra really hasn't competed much recently. It won a match against a buggy version of Shredder and some games against humans. It might be the strongest or just another strong program. I looked at some of its games and didn't see anything another prog couldn't do. The owner seems to be obsessed with the idea of having the strongest chessprogram around, and maybe it is?! , but it hasn't won any major open computerchess tournament yet , maybe next year? Peter
