His Correspondence rating is impressive. >His attitude against Human Ability is offensive to me however. Offensive??? To me they sounded very informative and downright realistic. Face it even the BEST players in the world (Topalov, Kasparov, Anand etc....) use computer EXTENSIVELY in their analysis. As a matter of fact Kasparov has now admitted that for a long time he had a big advantage over players because he was able to be an expert in using chess database software and engine analysis in preparing some nasty surprises over his opponents. Some of thos nasty surprises are still on his hard disk to be uncorked at a later time. Since then a top 100 chessplayer would be slaughtered very quickly if he did not know how to use chess software. Being too arrogant to use computers as help would make that person bleed on the battlefield.
