There's another useful arrow function, which I like to use when playing myself:
"Help/Spy..." makes a red arrow appear to point at simple (or sometimes also not
so simple) threats after each move of the program. It seems to be based on a
very quick analysis, but nevertheless it is correct most often I think, and
helps to avoid blunders. We poor humans can afford a little help. It's not
perfectly fair though (but I loose anyway of course).
