But now, even though computers are much better, it's too much of a known fact. You can't fool anyone anymore. And you yourself can't expect many pushovers in a correspondence tournament since ANYONE can give you a tough game with a simple unedited junior 6a or fritz 6a etc.and will. I think that 8 years ago one could have been rewarded quite well from consulting computer programs, as the assistance they could provide was a bit more imho than what the public was aware of.
