The display of ratings tempts many users not to look intensively at board positions. In many cases it makes sense to find the best possible continuation independently. In the engine window you will therefore find the switch " Hints on/off ", which you can use very well for your own training.

 

Let's assume you are analysing a complex position with a chess engine.

 

In the engine window you will see the button shown below:

 

 

 

The programme now hides the display of the calculated main variation and gives the user more or less discreet tips/hints on the board position.

 

Click on the button "Next Tip" to display another hint.

 

 

After multiple queries, the programme displays the tip directly with a green arrow on the chessboard.

 

 

Clicking again on the small symbol in the engine window switches back to the classic engine display.
