Good going guys, 4 down is not Tao though.

10 down is Hydra.

Avatar of zankfrappa

Only 4 down and 8 down are unsolved.  Tao is a chess engine and fits, do I get
half credit?

Hints:

4 Down: think of a famous sci-fi movie

8 Down: you breach your opponents defences...

10 Down: evaluates 200,000,000 chess positions per second
