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). Regards, M.Scheidl
