I believe that in the future we will have more tournaments of advanced chess. In the correspondence chess, in some countries, the use of programs it is already allowed. I don't play a chess game there are 6 years, and I stopped of playing correspondence chess 7 years ago. The pleasure that I have today with the chess is to test the programs in some test suites, analyze positions and to accompany GMs games with the aid of programs. I don't use a chess board there are several years, my chess board is the display of my computer, even if I am analyzing a position without the aid of a program. Paulo Soares, from Brazil
