Originally posted by Dutch DefenseYou can play with your engine, but you can NOT set up any games from RHP into your engine and 'practice' those. Once you've taken a game from RHP and viewed it in an engine and let the engine do ANY thinking about your move or the other player's moves you have gotten advice from the engine. This is cheating, even if the engine is only making moves for your opponent.
