Perhaps I should prove my point by playing corespondence chess myself again

(I am not saying this to say how great I am but more in  a way on how to use
computersin an optimal way
Because I love good games no matter who is playing them
Actualy I prefer that games are sorted out and played by them selfs but of the
same quality.
Then it saves me a lot of work.)

To make it more clear for the bigger audience
I don't believe you will get good results by keeping your computer over night
Deep quick search is the real way to get the right moves(Which takes lot of work
but as reward you get the right results ofcourse positional insight is important
not al games are kingside slaughters sometimes the position becomes clears as
late as moves over 40)
I actualy started anelyzing when i played corespondence chess myself
And I hated positions which are not based on a solid plan,or which can be
refuted in time.

I think besides Kasparov versus world Korchnoi Kasparov Wijk aan zee (though a
pity he never mentioned f4 instead of Rxa4)
And a game wich stands most likely on Jeroens computer (Kings Indian Gligoric
variation)
Are good ways to show the power of advanced chess
Besides these games I also did send a game of Kasparov which he played with
black against Timman in the Interpolis chess tournament 1981
Where a move wich actualy was found by Jan Timman Ng4 was a move which would
have givven   Black the advantage .
In that time Gary still missed many superb moves.
