The grandmaster will only use the computer to blundercheck his ideas for
tactical oversights.  In many cases, he will ignore the computer's evaluation,
especially in quiet positions.

Moreover, even two 1000-rated players will not make the same moves as each other
even if they are using the same software.  This is because the computer will
often evaluate several different variations as being identical in strength, or
nearly identical.  Thus different players will make different moves based on
their personal preferences, choosing from equally-rated options.
