Nope. That's what every computer does, as far as I know.

Sorry, I missed a couple of important words from my post! What I meant to say was this.

Your program is so simple that you can follow its algorithm on paper in a few minutes per move. Playing real over-the-board chess requires exactly this: taking a few minutes per move. So, if your simple algorithm can play strong chess then anybody at all can play strong over-the-board chess at regular time controls by following your algorithm, as long as they're allowed to make notes and maybe use a calculator. That seems very unlikely to me. Chess seems to be much harder than that to play well.

Using the Opening Browser on this site is using a "computer or computer program to evaluate or analyze a game".

*sigh* The very next sentences on the site's about page:

However, you may use computers for record keeping. It is also allowed to consult chess books and opening databases.

Exactly whyBish! It is the intent that is important. The rule itself is open to interpretation. Taken literally one could get a bit silly and say that it states that you can't use a chess program at any time ... during or after a game!

Good point too, richerby. There are already exceptions to this supposedly black and white rule.

Eu acho que muitos usam, mas não a maioria. Eu faço uma avaliação individual do jogador quando a partida é desafio e estou jogando poucos torneios já que nos torneios não escolhemos oponentes.
Quando um determinado jogador tem um número disparado de vitórias e poucas derrotas, realmente fico desconfiado. Ele pode ser um grande jogador, mas é dificil ser imabatível.
