Being a "postal GM" doesn't mean the player is strong OTB, because the analysis
abilities are focused in a different way.  IE Hans Berliner was the world
correspondence chess champion at one point, yet early versions of Cray Blitz
used to 'roll him up' in blitz chess quite easily.  To see the difference you
should play him a 'correspondence game'.

I remember an interesting pair of games years ago between IM Mike Valvo and
Deep Thought II, (a program that is stronger than any other, even today).  Mike
played this two game match in (at the time) rec.games.chess, and he just rolled
DT up into a small ball, and outplayed it badly.  Yet at blitz (or even normal
time controls) it would rip him just as easily.
