I almost do not use the computer for playing but I understand that people want to use the computer as a player of their level. I believe that I can learn by exercises based on games of players of my level when the target is to avoid mistakes of 1900-2100 players. These exercises can be based on databases of 1900-2100 players. I believe it can help me more than looking at masters games and even more than playing against the computer at any level. I believe that most of the moves that I play are grandmaster moves. I believe that instead of playing some hours to learn from few mistakes it is better to do exercises of practical positions when I have a good chance to do mistakes in them. Uri
