No
The important thing is to go into positions that the computer understand and not
to go into good positions.

I believe that Stefan knew how to lead shredder to positions that it understands
more than the opponent and this is the main reason for shredder's success.

I do not believe in it.

I believe that in correspondence games it is better to give computers to do all
the job and to avoid a computer move only in cases when you are almost sure that
the computer is wrong.

I believe that I am going to win a GM Har aven when all my moves are computers
moves.

Deep Fritz found one move in more than 22 hours and another move in more than 16
hours on PIII800.

The move that it found in more than 16 hours is probably a winning move.

I believe that computers are at least IM's in correspondence games and have
chances to win against GM's in correspondence games.

Not giving computers to do the positional job is a common mistake of humans in
correspondence games and it is the reason that computers get good results in
correspondence games(Steve Ham with an ICCF rating of 2508 lost against
Nimzo7.32 and Fritz6 2.5:1.5(one loss against nimzo,one draw against nimzo and 2
draws against Fritz6) he did not try to play anti computer chess but he plays in
the same style also against humans.
