I think that most allow engine assistance. It is allowed by the Israeli rules and it is clearly allowed in correspondence games by the ICCF rules that is the international organization of correspondence games. Bob Hyatt can test his program in correspondence games when part of the opponents use computers to help them and part of the opponents do not use computers because they do not want to do it inspite of having the right to do it. Chess programs can play correspondence games against humans,computers and teams of humans and computers in the ICCF tournaments but it seems that most programmers are not interested in playing there.
