Dear Peter, Per usual, very well stated, Peter! I agree with you. Thanks for the clarifications from both you and Uri. It is my perception that most, if not all, of the top-rated CC players admit to using chess engines in some way. As just one example, Tunj Hamarat, will probably win the present World CC Championship. He admits to using a chess engine(s). Kenneth Frey, an OTB IM and one of the highest rated ICCF players, claims he has 7-computers running at any given time. Heck, if I had a chance to compete in a World Championship Final (I only played in the Semi-Finals), I might use my computer too. So why do some computer using players succeed while most stay back in the pack? I suspect that's where the difference is decided by who is the better human player. A skilled human can direct the machine regarding where to focus its computing power, thus being more successful than somebody totally dependent upon having the machine find his/her moves. All the best, Stephen
