If it were >that easy there would be MANY more 2600 players than there actually are. I think that one of the problem is that a lot of CC players play in many tournaments so they cannot give their computer enough time for a game. I think that if Shredder7.04 is used with 24 hours per move on the fastest hardware that it can use then it may get at least 2500 and maybe even 2600. I know that there is a player in Israel with ICCF rating above 2500 (and his rating does not go down) that I beated 2.5-.5 in the different stages of the Israeli final and I felt during the games that I beated him because my computer simply outsearched his computer. He also did mistakes that I considered them as typical computer mistakes during the games. Maybe the secret is to know to play in the right correspondence tournament to get the big rating. For example it is possible that people who decide to play by mail can get bigger ICCF rating than people who decide to play by email because there is a bigger chance that players who use mail for their games do not have computers.
