In that tournament I played 8 games and it was mostly by mail(I played 2 games by emails and 6 games by mail). Now I am going to play 10 games by email and I think that I am going to use relatively less time per opponent but I still expect to give programs to analyze some hours per move except some obvious move in the opening or forced moves. Note that even in the opening after some moves I am not going to trust blindly the opening book. I will probably give in most cases only one engine to analyze the root position for some hours and I may do more analysis of other lines dependent on the position. Uri
