Basically, you are correct.
I am rated about 1430 USCF and try to use programs to try to
improve at least somewhat, but the programs which are masters
and above clean my clock. I can play reasonable against an 1800
rated program. Recently, I have been quite busy and not much
time to be addicted. I do think the tournaments with these programs
can be very useful; especially for programmers finding bugs, and to
see some of the moves these programs come up with.
