Seeing that Habu was able to achieve dominance in Shogi (where the best computer
programs available are not even at master level), it would seem that he does not
necessarily need such assistance. In fact, since humans play chess in a
different manner than programs, it could even be a mistake for him to do this
kind of thing so early in his development -- if he cannot find a suitable GM
instructor, his time might be better spent browsing through the latest Informant
or NIC, and/or blitzing versus strong human players at ICC.
