Why on earth does anybody want to use computer programs in correspondence games? I have been a computer chess enthusiast for many years, and I have played in a few correspondence chess tournaments in the past. The main reason i quit playing correspondence chess was the wide-spread use of computers. Using a computer makes the game less fun for yourself as well as your opponent. What makes correspondence chess fun is (to me) mainly the possibility of analysing tactical lines very deeply by hand --- what point is there in letting a computer program find the tactics?
