By default the computer opens with a random line from your opening courses for its side, so you meet many different defences; or pick one course to practise just that.

The coach labels each of your moves Book, Best, Excellent, Good, Inaccuracy, Mistake, or Blunder, and says why a bad move is bad: a piece left hanging, a mate allowed, a win missed. Take-backs and hints are there when you want them.
