So the actual computer Go program isn’t the advantage then: the advantage comes from having paper and pen, or a sample board, to try out different sequences? This strikes me as a little different in spirit from Advanced Chess, where the computer actually is a really good player. It’s more like Postal Chess.
Since you’re above the level of any commercial Go program, why would Advanced Go be any different than regular Go?
You would never get ladders wrong. You would count yose plays accurately.

Having a joseki database would make a difference.
Then would a book on joseki, or other Go books, be allowed? I think I’d prefer them (or access to Sensei’s Library) to a computer program.
