(The problem is that the losing grandmaster would not enjoy it that much.) Giving the computer less time would RUIN the high quality match. Then it would be a match like any other grandmaster against grandmaster match. I rather give a pawn advantage to the human player (and dont decrease the time), and see a high quality match.

Deep Fritz 10 the best chess program entity? lol, nice one. Please Mr. Dvorsky make ur homework next time. On all rating lists Rybka in number one. Doesn't matter on which hardware it runs, running on a quad core it even surpases an elo over 3100 ! Hydra would so get owned.
