If you want ot play 'advanced chess", register a computer account and put in the
notes that the operator is also a voting member of the team.
On ICC, "RoboSchro" is an example of this. It is perfectly legal.

1: Hi! I am IM Jonathan Schroer. This is a special account I created because
I thought it would be fun, and possibly enlightening, to play chess on the ICC
using outside (including computer) assistance. Of course, this would be
cheating if I did not announce it.
2: Pentium 233 MHz, 32 MB RAM
3: Cyborg account, using all materials at my disposal, but no human help
4: Hopefully I will be able to offer you a challenging game! :-)
5: There should be a (C) for this account everywhere, but ICC is straightening
it out :-)
6: To see my "real" account, on which I play "human chess" using just my own
wits, please type "finger Schroer" (without the quote marks).
