[ Surprise, surprise! : ) ] Fritz and other engines have training and/or friend modes which offer a useful feature. Whenever you make a really dumb move, the chess-playing program tells you "are you sure you want to play that move?" and then you get a second chance to solve the position without first seeing the solution. That seems very valuable to me. In essence, you are given "instant feedback" whenever you err. I like that. The only thing missing is the ruler which comes out and smacks your hand across your knuckles whenever you blunder! : ) Bob D.
