Feb-22-05  Jaymthegenius: Quite a match between super computers! Perhaps Chessbase will buy the rights to Hydra, imagine the power of "Deep Hydra?" Quite powerful!
Feb-22-05  refutor: what does chessbase buying the rights to hydra have to do with making it "deep"?
Feb-22-05  Jaymthegenius: Though I prefer 13.Bb2,exd4 14.cxd4 creating the dynamic isolated d-pawn.
Feb-22-05  Jaymthegenius: Refutor, it doesnt, just that it will sell quite well, and eventually the creators will almost certainly make a multi-processor version.

This was not a match between "supercomputors."
Shredder used PC, albeit a weaker one than what I have under my desk while Hydra used cluster computing. Do you know what that is?

That is very unequal competition.
I would like to see retail Hydra but I doubt it could stand up to the reputation of this match. I think Shredder and Hiarcs are still better engines than Hydra.

Feb-22-05  shortsight: <Do you know what that is?> Sounds more like an insult to others, as if you know everything.
Jul-29-06  spirit: superb play from both comps.
