When the operator of a computer chess program changes levels
(or any other program parameters) or instructs the program to
play its current best move immediately to avoid loss on time,
is this a violation of the rule regarding advice from a third
party?
Are there special rules adopted by FIDE, USCF or CFC governing
play by computational machines?
