How strong is Hydra?. Well, this super-computer/software has never been
beated, neither by humans nor by machines. He demolished the strongest
programs in the world in the PADERBORN Tournament, with an impactant
almost-perfect score: Hydra won all its games except one, including
against Fritz, and it only conceeded a draw against Schredder, but in
other tests Hydra mauled Schredder too. Now it is in project AUGMENT the
power of Hydra. Actually, Hydra is an optimized-to-play device with 64
parallel computers with specially designed processors, and the plan in
multiply the number by two. Hydra ELO may be close to 3000 at this moment,
but it can be higher after the new projected improvements...
