I thought to do it at that way but I did not do it exactly in that way because
there were cases when I did not like the computer move.


>You wanted to test the computers strenght in correspondence games.

I wanted to test the computer strength but I also wanted to promote to the
final.

I had bad luck of having strong opponents in the first stage and I was afraid of
not promoting to the final so I changed my mind.

I know based on the future that I was right and my opponents did well later
including one player who did not promote to the next stage(when the final was
the last stage).

My strong opponents were:

4 270206 Rozenberg, Dov M  2579 178 0,0 0 2005 SM(I drew with him and later won
against him twice in the next stages)
8 270216 Yefremov, Yaakov M  2567 76 0,0 0 2004 SM  F(he not onlydid not promote
to the final but also did not promote to the next stage).
10 270231 Glazman, Moshe M  2545 103 0,0 0 2005   F(I drew with him and he
promoted to the final and I expect him to get soon the GM norm as board 9 of
Israel in the Europe final

Other groups had not strong players like these players so in the next stage it
was easier and I scored 7/7

In the final I scored 6.5/8

I am playing only in the following tournament

http://www.iccf-europa.com/tables/6msm/VI-EU-MSM-Bd3.htm


Dov rozenberg is first board of israel when Moshe glazman in 9th board of israel
and in his way to the GM norm

http://www.iccf-europa.com/tables/6msm/VI-EU-MSM-Bd9.htm

My only win so far is thanks to a clerical error of my opponent when he did not
write correctly his move in his computer and analyzed the wrong position.
