Training – Spy

 

 

In “spy” mode the program uses a red arrow to display what it is planning to do on its next move.

 

 

This feature helps beginners and intermediate players avoid dropping pieces or getting thrashed quickly. It is highly recommended as a training tool. Games played in spy mode tend to achieve a higher level of play.

 

The Spy uses coloured arrows to show the threats in the current board position. In contrast to the function „Show Threat“ this function also displays what will happen in the following move.

 

This function is not only useful for beginners, because it helps avoid elementary tactical errors. Games played with the spy function active are of a much better quality. This function has been improved and now the Spy only shows strong unmistakable threats.

 

Note: If simple combinations are possible these are shown by a blue arrow on the chess board.
