part of the over the board play consist of ability to concentrate, long stamina, good visualization, high concentration to avoid blunder, think fast so not as to get into time trouble. Those who have problems mentioned above will be able to compete in correspondence chess as long as they have good positional sense, ability to plan, ability to create ideas and creativity. The tactical side will be taken care of by the computer programs. Mark Dvoretsky seems to be able to dig out the secrets of a position. Judging from the errrors of Kasparovs books, maybe Mark Dvoretsky is a better correspondence player than Kasparov. Maybe the ultimate challenge for Hydra in correspondence chess is not Kasparov but someone who is a good analysis. Kavalek is also one person that comes to mind. Maybe there are stil lots of unknown out there who can deafeat Hydra in orrespondence chess. The man plus computer vs Hydra, the persons with the computer have a low rating. Maybe over the board they just lose because of tatical blunder, poor stamina, lack of confidence to go into long variation, but they have creativity, good planning, good positional judgement. Correspondent chess against computer can still be interresting = )
