Go up one level in this thread
At more than 1000 elos less than K,K&K (and K, and K* :-)), it depends on which conclusion you draw from playing computers. I guess, if you start to defend against humans like you (probably) have learned to defend against computers, avoiding sharp tactics as long as possible and not risk a combination you couldn't calculate to the end 100%, you'll be weaker. - But if you try to copy the computer's style (disregarding "small" inaccuracies), you may be more successfull. Because an opponent at your level is probably not better than you, in refuting an incorrect sac. Of course this works only up to a certain elo level. For example for me, at 1900+ it's over with any realistic chance to win or even to draw, with very few exceptions. Also, the above may fit to blitz more that to longer time controls.
