I believe that most 2200-2300 correspondence players or not use a computer or use programs only for a short time. I expect top programs to get 80% against 2200-2300 correspondence players. The match of Steve Ham against computers when Steve Ham(2508 ICCF) lost 2.5-1.5 proved that programs can get a correspondence performance of more than 2500. Steve Ham did not play anti computer but most correspondence players do not try to play in anti-computer style and if you say that the correspondence players cannot use hardware for 24 hours per move in every game then I can answer that today it is possible to use better hardware then the hardware that was used against Steve Ham. My experience in correspondence games also suggest that computers can get performance of more than 2500(I used also my head because performance of more than 2500 was not enough for me to be the Israeli champion) Uri
