I do not know which person to hire A person can be better than anand in the ability to analyze positions and not be a grandmaster because (s)he cannot imagine the final position in a real game. It is important to have a very good memory in a practical game over the board and not only to know how to think. The only way to know which person to hire is to do a competition in correspondence chess between the best correspondence players and kasparov or anand but we need sponsors to pay money for kasparov or anand otherwise they will not play.
