I did not decide before the game to choose all the computer moves. There were few moves in the championship when i chose a move that was not suggested by computers but I did not need to do it in that game. My opponents knew that using computers was allowed and I believe that all of them except one used computers(I can say that I am sure that some opponents used computers because they also told me it).
