Mmmm...sounds interesting :) I've always wondered how top chess programs would do against top humans at correspondance time control. One thing I have wondered in the past is whether you would hold the match against top human correspondence chess players, or if you would hold it with top GM's, only with longer time controls. I guess the issue is, would Kasparov or Kramnik be better than the top two correspondence chess players in the world at correspondance chess? As far as a CCC (correspondence computer chess) tournament, how would one run that? You said the programs could only search at night, but how would you enforce such a rule? Maybe the player to move gets the opponent's move from a 3rd party (website?) and then has 12 hours (or however long) to submit it's move, and then participants could start their turn at their lesiure (within reason). But then the other player could have a variable time window to do extra pondering. But that would also encourage each player to take their 12 hour turn (or however long) promptly, to avoid giving the opponent extra pondering time. Anyway, I like the idea, as long as these kinds of details could be worked out. Russell
