Is it just me or does this sound like the most boring way possible to play
chess? This seems analagous to those guys who use computers to cheat on the icc
and claim there is skill involved because they are picking specific engines for
certain opponents. I realize its not cheating in this case, but winning because
"my programs outsearch the opponent in a lot of games" seems incredibly tiresome
to me, even if the resulting chess is close to perfection. To each his own I
suppose, but in my point of view computers have now offically destroyed the
beauty of correspondence chess.
