I think that these are stupid rules because you cannot force people to obey
these rules.

In th championship of Israel there is no rule against computers or against
getting advice from humans.

Junior4.6 won one game with black in the 1/2 final of the championship of
Israel( Junior chose all the moves at 5 hours per move except
the first 10 moves in 5 hours per move on P200MMX)

I copied the first 2 moves from a game of Junior4.5 in WMCC(it won Fritz5 by
1.e4 e5 Nf3 Nc6)

I used Genius3 with contempt=0.25 to choose moves 3-10

I did not trust the opening book of the computer and I gave it hours to
calculate
but I found in other games that this was a mistake because sometimes the
computer suggested bad moves in the opening even after a long time and sometimes
the computer got positions that it did not understand so I could not trust it.


Junior5 beta version won another game against another opponent that was late in
registering the tournament

This time the opening moves were from  Junior's book and I decided to trust the
book.

I was afraid to use only the computer in other games because of my bad choice of
opening but after seeing the opponent's moves I think that a computer without
help could also do good results.

I got 5 out of 6 in this tournament(2 wins of the computers and 2 wins and 2
draws of me with the help of the computer)

and I am going to play in the 3/4 final of the championship of israel.

I believe that the computer has a good chance to get 4.5 out of 6(enough to play
in the final).

I do not believe that it has a chance to win the final.
