but he probably does not have 6 new and fast computers fulltime for his
analysis. So his analysis with engines will be shorter than the time the
opponent engine calculates the moves. The question is now, will he be able to
use his limited time and computer power as much productive, that he will be able
to defeat 6 programs with 5:1? I personally doubt that unless he will be able to
decide the game in the opening phase (which is quite possible, since all books
have holes - especially if it comes to correspondance time control).
