World Champs rely heavily on computers? I believe that today they have no other choice Computers are strong. How much better >do you think they are compared to a weak player who solely relies on computer >assistance? I believe that computer on fast hardware may have chances against them. If a weak player decides to buy many computers(one for every opponent) and use them all the time to give him(her) moves after long search then I guess that (s)he may get ICCF rating of 2600. My moves are usually computer moves when I only choose which programs to use ,how much time to use them and which program to believe. I also analyze the position by going backward and forward but this analysis usually does not change the fact that I choose computer move or theory move when I am in the opening. There were only 4 exceptions in the all tournament and in 2 of them I believe that the computer move was also enough to win when in another one of them I believe that my move was wrong but I do not think that it changed the result. I have the advantage that I played only at one tournament so I could give more computer time for my games and the result was that my computers outsearch my opponent computers. There were few cases when I needed to be careful not to choose the move of deep Fritz that was the main program that I used and to believe to another program. One of them was against the female world champion Luba Kristol but later in the same game I won simply because my computer outsearch her computer. I am not sure if the computer move of Deep fritz against Luba kristol was a losing move but I saw enough that I may get into troubles and prefered another move that does not give her advantage. Uri
