Perhaps it is legitimate, i just see it as a problem in the sense, that it's
hard to say "my computer suggested a move, that i hadn't thought of previously,
i analysed it, thought it good then played it"  The problem is that it seems a
little in the grey area to say that the move played wasn't totally generated by
the computer.   The main culprit i'm pointing to of course in this post, is the
player who makes all the computer moves, he even told me that his purpose for
playing was just to test the strength of his computer.
