That's why I would advise a new definition of computerchess. 'Away from (just)
reading in dbases and back to the knowledge and calculating of the engine on'.
I would support a clear difference between the features of a machine as
tournament chessplayer or as training tool for human chessplayers.

(As a repetition from my earlier statements I think it is important to
understand that in tournaments dbases or books are no obstacle for the top GM,
simply because of their eidetics. A second point is result of my thought
experiment that after the creative invention of real anti-computer-chess chess
against machines even with dbases would be much easier for humans down to expert
level. A third mention was the unfair and forbidden usage of dbases in FIDE
rules.)
