Hehe... Well said! But I really don't understand why people incline to the use of engines, because then where's the fun of playing chess! An engine user is nothing but an obedient slave to the "silicon" master!

and yet, after playing certain games, i feel like,"OMG, I really suck..... Am I getting worse?" And yes shark, i realize that doesn't apply to you....

I hope your aware of the fact that engine use isnt allowed here and that people check games with computers so if you play like a computer it is easy to recognize and you will be reported. Try using your engine against Miguel and see what happens to your account. I've played Eric Schiller on an alternate sight then this (losing all, one Nimzo-Larsen one Main-line Terrach, one fianchetto Alekhines (as black)). And fed the game to a computer he is #1 on that site, yet theres a stark contrast between how he play's and a computer (IE: Not playing a move that immediately wins, playing many very sound moves that arent the objective best according to xyz computer, etc).
I was once 1900 on Yahoo! And 2300 on www.chess21.com and because of computers I am a 1350 Yahoo! and 2000 on www.ches21.com (many (C) opponents I played werent (C) at the time and I thought they were human).
Besides, using engines you are cheating yourself. And the satisfaction of obtaining a norm yourself will be absent. Also you won't learn anything, better to make mistakes and be human and improve your game playing with an honest rating then using a machine. I make many mistakes here. But I use Deep Shredder 9 AFTER the game to see where I went wrong (or right if I won, or where I would've gone wrong had an opponent spotted a certain blunder).

Also why I like Shredder better then Fritz as Fritz follows dogmatic chess principles with a rediculous level of consistency, it is very uncreative and is very rigid. But if following a certain principle happens to be a mistake then this is where the machine will lose. Alot of the chess "laws" really arent laws but rules of thumb. As Aagard said "all rules have exeptions!"
Shredder on the other hand is far more flexible and has a less selective search, and wont hesitate to sacrifice material for a positional advantage. Sure Fritz has the "objectively better" and much deeper book, but Shredder's shallower book allows it to find sound novelties in a given position (sometimes a novelty it gives is the best from the position).
