With equal time I don't think so. 1)I think that it is not so hard to get ICCF-ELO >2500 if humans use hours per move but most of the humans do not want to do it. becasue there are no big prizes in these games. I think that a computer have chances in practical correspondence games but only because of the fact that the humans do not play seriously enough (they have other things to do and not only chess). 2)I believe that the programmers did not do their programs to help the humans in correspondence games. I see that Chessmaster6000 looks at many stupid lines(I can tell it to show me the thinking lines) but I cannot tell the program to save time and not to look in lines that are clearly illogical during the search.
