The rules are simply practical. It is impossible to prevent people to use computers so using computers is allowed. For the same reason it is also allowed to ask other people for advice. I used only the help of computers in my previous tournament. I did not trust the computer suggestion in 100% of the cases but I did it in most of the cases. cases when I chose a move that was not in the opening databases and was not suggested by one of the commercial programs were rare and I did it only after a long analysis with the help of computers.
