I disagree here.
I think that the computers can find better positional moves after a long search
and I prefer to trust their judgement if I am not sure.

I usually use programs to search for a long time(it can be one program and if I
do not like it's move I use another program)

I believe that playing a move that no program wants to play is a good idea to do
mainly for deep tactics that yace can see only after learning the right lines.
