Personally I can't see the point in using computers to aid analysis in correspondence play. What satisfaction would you get knowing that any victories were not solely due to your own efforts? This topic is a bit of a sore point with me because I won the NZ Correspondence Championship back in 1994-95 and yet because my OTB strength is well below my correspondence strength, many thought that I must have used computer programs to achieve this. At least I know I didn't, but it certainly takes the shine off my best achievement in chess when you know that others think this way.
