Memory is something that is allowed to be used in chess. There is nothing wrong with remembering a lot of theory lines without understanding the reason that lines are evaluated as advantage for one side when you start to think only when you have no moves in your memory. I do not do it but not because I consider it as cheating but only because my memory is not good enough to read a theory book and to remember everything without thinking about it. I believe that part of the talent of the best GM's is also to do it and to save time in the clock. The source of the lines should be of course something that they can trust and it is possible that finding these lines is the job of other humans that they hired when these humans use chess programs and their own knowledge to find the lines. It is not against the Fide rules. It is not cheating. Uri
