Computers in correspondence chess

I've been thinking about starting to play correspondence chess. I'm trying to decide whether I should play in iccf events, where computer assistance is allowed, or uscf events, where computer assistance is not allowed.

Let's assume for purposes of this discussion that cheating is not an issue because my uscf opponents will abide by the rules.

Please share your opinions. Do you find computer assisted games more satisfying or not? And why?

With computer assistence the person with the better computer has a slight advantage too, I presume. To me it would be an easy choice: no computer. Thats also because I play chess with the aim to become a solid OTB player. 

I am playing in an "engines on" tournament for the first time.  I can't remember much about the games.  Just not very involved.  I'm just supervising a program.  Not nearly as interesting as normal correspondence chess.

I am both a chess player (fairly good but not great) and a limited collector of computer chess boards. Computer chess boards and/or computer chess engines are great for improving one's game alone in one's home (ie. you against the computer). It also can be fun and instructive to pit one computer board or computer engine against another and I know it is done all the time -informally and in tournaments.

But when it comes to chess involving what is supposed to involve human-based effort then IMO, computers have absolutely no place. The term, computer-assisted correspondence is IMO a misnomer since I am willing to bet that it is the computer that is making all -not just some- of the moves. (Note that I have no problem with people pitting their computer boards or engines against one another in a correspondence manner.)

One of the most unfortunate results of the introduction of computers into various braingames such as chess, sudoku and Scrabble is that now, one can never trust that solutions are based on human effort alone when it comes to correspondence or online play.

Bottom line: I would go with the non-computer-assisted correspondence chess and hope that you can trust that that is what it is.
