There is a very nice (old) book "Computerschach-Schachcomputer" (in German language) by Posthoff and Reinemann (Akademie-Verlag, Berlin). On bottom of page 176 the authors propose: "Ohne Übertreibung kann man feststellen, dass solche Schachprogramme ideale Partner für nichtaktive Schachfreunde, aktive Spieler der mittleren und unteren Leistungsklassen, für Problem- und Fernschachfreunde sind." My translation to English: "Without exaggeration one can state that such chess programs are ideal partners for non-active chess friends, for active players of medium and lower classes strength, for chess problemists, and for correspondence chess friends." The book appeared in 1987 (in the former DDR, "East Germany") Editorial deadline was in April 1986. QUESTION: Does someone here know even earlier publications where the use of chess computers in correspondence chess was proposed? Ingo Althöfer.
