Thanks.

>How much do you us computers (if at all)?

I prefer to not discuss my methods in a public forum.  But I will tell you that
I certainly would NEVER just plug a position into a computer and let it decide
what my move will be.  At top levels this is a recipe for losing.  In postal
chess circles these people are called "postmen", since they deliver the mail for
their computers.  How unimaginably boring this would be.

>What is your OTB rating?

I very rarely play OTB, but do have an OTB rating; ~2100.  I have trouble
concentrating in OTB games and make too many tactical mistakes.  Against much
higher rated players (2450+) I have scored 3 draws and 1 loss in OTB. I seem to
concentrate and do better under these circumstances.
