Do you? I play without any programs and am mediocre at best. But I see many people that don't do mistakes at all. I feel as if I'm playing against Fritz.
I don't play against people using the assistance of chess programs. Take care to ensure that you are spending a good amount of time per move in every game. Think your moves over and do your best to
determine the best one. After your games (more specifically, the games where you feel as if you're playing against Fritz), write down all the moves and analyze the game. Search for mistakes by both
parties and determine the better moves in retrospect. In many games I've felt the same way, only to realize the various mistakes both people made during the game and learned how to not make them and
take advantage of them. One tip I can offer that I learned the hard way is to not be afraid of aggressive play. Many times the opponent played aggressively, and I reacted in a passive and 'reactive'
manner instead of seeking counterplay. Don't be afraid to exchange pieces of equal value, especially when it leaves you with a positional advantage (ie. rook on the seventh rank, passed pawn,
centralized knight etc.). Above all, continue to play and actively study chess. You will get better. One the more enjoyable aspects of chess, for me, is watching my own improvement in the game and
taking advantage of mistakes that other players make that I also used to make.

I use chess programs but not to assist me in playing.
Rather they are good for analysis after the game to learn from mistakes.
I also use them to catch engine users who do cheat online.

I don't use them. There is one on my icc account that I can use when I watch other peoples games on there.
I had one person, Mendat, used a chess program to beat me. It is really stupid to use one to cheat.
