I am still learning the game so this works great for me. I get an idea of how I am rated as I progress from game to game.

being able to retrace, analyze & try different moves, compare your ideas for moves against the hints. When your decision vs the hint still gets you to check mate, increases confidence:)

This game is garbage, the rating system makes no sense you can lose ten points are 600 points in one loss. The computer sometimes will not let you capture its pawn after moving two spaces on its first move. Playing live, opponents will ask for take-backs and if you refuse they stop playing it should not even be a option in the menu
