i suppose 'there are strong chess players who do it' is correct, but not many. i
play in the highest swiss league, and in my team there is one IM and 4 FMs. not
one of them uses fritz or any other engine as sparring partner. i know one swiss
IM who recently told me that he plays against fritz, but not as in a serious
tournament game. he is the only strong player i know who does this. he does not
do it because he believes to learn anything from fritz, but because he is the
best player in his club and has noone to test his ideas against except fritz.
