Note also that computer are used for long analysis not only in the positions that I play but also in possible lines some plies after it. The practical importance of computers is also to make wins shorter. If I see that I have good chances to win some game then it is important not only to win but to find the fastest way to win because finding the fastest way to win may means that I can finish the game earlier so later I will have more computer time for other games.
