Anyone have any news on the Hydra software/hardware combo? Last I heard they doubled their FPGA count but haven't seen any new games in a year or so.

I miss the King Hydra ...
... In my humble opinion Hydra has been the best chess computer has ever been. The computer that searched a super- score against a super- Grand Master "Mister Adams." A computer that I had the chance and the opportunities to see playing it against many other chess computers in man versus machine into playchess.com engines room.
Hydra had a profile better than another chess computer. It was running in a super hardware as fast as Deep Blue was and with beautiful software. These days when Hydra was usually playing in engines room were the "Gold-days" from chess base engine room.
I miss the King Hydra.
I would like to see it again in playchess.com !!!
With best respect,
Father

I am thinking chess is in a coin.Human beings for ever playing in one face.Now I am playing in the other face:"Antichess". Computers are as a fortres where owner forgot to close a little door behind. You must enter across this door.Forget the front.
