Calculation training with candidate support

The "Easy Mode" games, always rich with tactical motifs, offer fantastic opportunities to practice calculating variants.

This is mentally exhausting, so unfortunately you usually just keep daddling with hints.

Calculation training, however, has the side effect of bringing about enormous increases in playing strength.

To make things even more structured, the "Supported Calculation Training" function in the "Easy Game" mode now has a candidate helper. At the beginning of a calculation, you should first find the candidate moves.

Example

In the assisted calculation training you enter them blindly. The candidate helper monitors your entered notation and reports if important moves are left out.

Example

If candidates are missing, you can get subtle or less subtle hints.
