Go up one level in this thread


That sounds too complicated.  As a practical matter, if you use several
different top-level chess software programs at infinite or very long time
controls to calculate the best move in correspondence play, they will often
disagree.  Roughly--they will agree 50% of the time, disagree 50% of the time.
So you are forced to use your own human judgement in selecting the best move
about half of the time, like it or not.  That's one reason why correspondence
chess play is a level above ordinary chess play.
