Subject: Best Ways to Improve Using Chess Programs?

I am curious if anyone in this group has improved his/her play
greatly with the aid of a chess program/computer.  If so, what
methods did you use?  I have Levy's book on Computer Chess, which
gives some brief tips for using the computer to improve in the
openings, middlegames, and endgames, and I'm wondering if others
have their own techniques.

One common idea is to play tactical positions against the computer
(play to the computer's strength), and I would like to also ask if
others know of particular positions are type of position that might
be especially helpful.  For example, I've heard that certain queen
and knight endings are extremely tactical, to the point where humans
would have a hard time playing a computer -- or perhaps you would
suggest some specially composed 3 queens + 4 knights + 1 rook bonaza,
or some such thing.  Any ideas welcome!
