With Advanced Chess -- I think the only successful implementations/experiments
so far are with correspondence chess.

Sometimes, I think correspondence players just run their computer overnight and
play the move the computer suggests -- no matter how idiotic.  But sometimes,
computers can be used to weed out deep tactics that are otherwised missed to
create brilliant strategic moves.

I think the best GM's are really not used to playing standard time control
advanced chess using computers.  Sometimes, they probably don't trust the
computer enough and sometimes too much.  At some point, I think it will become
more effective in the normal standard chess type format.
