I am going to estimate that 33 to 50 percent use some form of help. I think some guys use some form of book opening notation. Other guys are more sophisticated. They either use an engine at its outright strength or the use varying strength settings on an engine so as not to establish a pattern to their move choices. I may sound sour, but I can't help but to call em like I see em.
