Why are you comparing chess computers with human chess players? Chess programs
play chess in a very different way. Using opening databases and endgame
databases is not some kind of unfair advantage, but part of their progress to
play "better chess".

It like not permitting a human player to study chess with a good chess teacher:
as a computer program is unable to do that, humans shouldn't get that unfair
advantage too when playing a program.

Choosing a programming solution is not like extending unfair advantages to a
chess program a human can't use, it's simply using all possible means to
increase playing strenght.

Maybe I don't understand correctly what you try to indicate with that, but
that's no problem.
