I do not try everything to win. In my correspondence games using computers is legal so I do not see a problem with it. I am not going to play in correspondence games when using computers is illegal. My reasons: 1)I do not want to cheat 2)I do not want to give my opponents an unfair advantage because I expect people to cheat. I also think that usually there is at least one computer that can find the right move. I do not say that it is always the same program and there was more than one case when I decided to play a move that Deep Fritz did not suggest me even after a very long search because my analysis suggested that it is not the best move and I prefered a move of another program.
