Junior5.9 won 2432 player in correspondence game.
I believe that chess programs are at IM level in correspondence games.
I expect to win an IM (2456) with black in a correspondence game when all my
moves are computer's moves(in the case of the game against the 2456 not all the
moves were made by the same program and there were cases when I did not like one
program and prefered another program)
I believe that computer programs are at IM level inspite of the fact that the
IM's have the right to use programs to help them and that my level is better
than the average IM level at correspondence games.
Here is my game against a player with 2432 ICCF rating when all my moves are
moves of Junior5.9.

in zunzwang because avoid moving give black better evaluation than other moves)
} 25... f6 {(a typical computer move,I thought that sacrificing a pawn by Nc4
was better,The last moves of black tell me that rozenberg is probably a chess
program because I do not expect humans to waste time by passive moves like
Re8-e6-e7)} 26. Bg3 {1.24/21 20791} 26... Kh8 {(A tactical mistake that
computer programs can avoid in long time control but after g6 Bb3 white can
probably win the game,Junior5.9's idea after 26...g6 was 27.h4 Kg7 28.h5 but I
did not like it and my comp-comp test showed me that rozenberg can draw in
this line)} 27. Qh5 {1.99/21 27889} 27... g6 {(Another tactical mistake
typical to programs that do not have some hours to calculate,the best for
black was g5 Qh6 but this could not save black)} 28. Bxg6 {2.45/20 27912} 28...
