Hi Ray
yes it seems that the general consensus here is that most do not actually play
against the PC Silicon monster,but they use it for analysis or as a tool to run
matches etc.
of course i have no objection to this but i wonder..
unlike you, most members here do not own a dedicated chess computer to play
against,and as such if they are using the PC software for analysis or someother
tool , then it seems to me that many are not even playing chess themselves
this is perhaps a sad development in my opinion
but i could be wrong and maybe many are playing in live OTB tournaments

Best Regards
Steve
