Adams in trouble

This Hydra is a tough one. Current score is 3.5-0.5 for a machine with game 5 in progress where Adams is defending in Ruy Lopez again.

Second game was hard positional battle with small advantage for GM Adams. However, Hydra has defended well and game was drawn on move 68. Grand Master Michael Adams said: “I’m happy with my performance today, it was a tough game, and Hydra kept its defenses up throughout. A draw was the only reasonable conclusion to the game otherwise we would have been battling for hours."

Third game lasted for two hours and forty minutes, with GM Adams resigning after 28 moves. Mickey came with high optimism that he will be winning however he found HYDRA to be a very tough opponent.
