As you know, for any experiment to be realistic, it must duplicate the anticipated conditions as precisely as possible. Therefore, the person playing with the aid of a computer should be an experienced correspondence player who could make a breakthrough with the machine's help (probably involving tactical strength). 2. Gary Kasparov has been promoting "Advanced Chess", in which over-the-board players can use computers during play. Advanced Chess matches seem to indicate that computer assistance benefits some players more than others. I don't know what impact this will have on correspondence chess - - I would guess that correspondence chess, with its long time controls (allowing human players more time to see tactics), would be less affected than over-the-board chess - - but it might be good to keep an eye on it. Cheers, Mark
