Never! I am not sure about it because part of the players do not use computers and many players that use computers do not use the best program(I was one of them when I used Junior4.6) or do not give the computer many hours per move. I can give it more time than part of the opponents because I am playing only in 1 tournament in correspondence chess. I am sure that it is not good enough to be the champion of Israel but it may be good enough to have 4.5 out of 6 in the 3/4 final and to be in the final. > >>I think that next time when I use a computer I will use it by a more intelligent >>way(I consider to use Rebel10 with EOC in the 3/4 final). > >THAT makes a difference! To USE a computer or to LET a COMPUTER PLAY! I meant that I will let it play in a more intelligent way because I do not trust the theory but I do not want to give the computer to calculate without knowledge. I think to let the computer to play in the 3/4 final I did not do it in all the games of the 1/2 final because I did not let it play in the right way in the 1/2 final and I did not play with the right program. I also had a strong opponents in the 1/2 final and was afraid because of this reason to use only the computer. 2 players are playing in the final of a previous competition and one of them lost against Junior4.6 Another player was in the past in the final and another player is playing in the 3/4 final and is also very strong. I hope there will be a significant improvement in Junior5 before 1.7.99 otherwise I think that chessmaster6000 is a better candidate to play. Uri
