However, some players do use programs to check for tactics and as programs get better, the more they will probably be used. It's a sad fact of life. The difference between the two is that in the one case, the using of computers is encouraged and in the other, it is discouraged (and not always that helpful). > >>It's not that advanced chess is so threatening, it's just that it is not chess. >> >>2 people, x amount of time, 1 chess board, good luck. >> >>KarinsDad :) >> >>PS.
