I am not a chess master too. my playing strength is near 2300 ELO. I use chess engines only to go quickly through my games. it doesnt help much to improve your strength, but it is much easier to forget a chess game if you know where you went wrong. even if you win a chess game quite convincingly, there are some things you were not sure about during play. I dont like to wake up in the middle of the night and set up a position just to make something clear. Im able to analyse most of my games in not more than 20 minutes with the help of an engine. that is why I prefer fast searchers. the engine has not much time for analysing a specific position. I am too dependent on analysis engines but I have not enough time to analyse my games thorough without. you look at the 5 or 6 best lines in analysis mode and decide quickly which lines are worth for more investigation. this is just a matter of experience. when everything seemed to be clear you went on to the next move until game is finished or at least decided. if a position is too complicated mark it unclear which of course simply means: I dont know.
