Obviously, using a computer to analyze your own games in progress would be a blatant violation. But is it against the rules to use a computer to analyze the games of your tournament opponents that are still in progress? I might want to know the probable results of those games to figure out what kind of record I'll need to advance.
As long as its not at the start of a thematic tournament it should be fine I guess.
Too be safe, why not just analyse his/her finished games? Or are there not enough games then?

The point was that I want to predict the standings, to see whether I'm better off playing for a win or a draw. I'm not analyzing them to find his weaknesses or anything.
Obviously, yeah, if it was a thematic and I had the same/similar position in my game, that would be bad. This isn't the case; the tournament started a month ago and isn't thematic.
