I would agree that it is 97% safe, nevertheless the remaining 3% should not be omitted :mrgreen:

Yup, even their website is not updated, I guess they figure out that as soon as they have the strongest chess machine, it would only take a short time and the other programs will catch them up with better program and faster improvement of conventional hardware. Look at the development of processors the past few years. I hope Hydra is not dead, its a good sign that PAL is still sponsoring freestyle chess
