Because we do have a Hydra sitting around to test out in our homes we go by what e believe. Based on what I have read here including posts by Chrilly and results of games Hydra has played in the past I believe Hydra to be much stronger than Rybka or any other known chess entity at this time. I hope to see Zappa take that crown in the future though. Ryan
