Spa rring

Spa rring is an excellent training level for moderately advanced players.
The program plays a reasonably strong game, but at the same time makes tactical
errors. If the program finds a move that allows the opponent to gain a tactical
advantage in a clever way, it will play that move. It is a very realistic human style,
the kind you encounter in a chess club.
You can select the grade of difficulty of the tactics that will be offered. Very easy is
for players with an Elo of around 1400 and usually involves finding forks and two move
combinations. Normal is meant for players between 1700 and 1900, and very hard is
for players from 1900 all the way up to GMs.
When you use the “Sparring” mode, there is a choice from very easy to really hard.
You can also specify whether the program should “point out wins” (i.e., flash a red
light below the board when there is a good move available for you).

Alternately, the program will not warn you, but the message “you missed something”
appears in the notation. This allows you to play through the game later and see where
you missed a chance.

Spa rring is good for moderately advanced players to top club players. The chess
clock only records the time in sparring mode, and has no further relevance, so you can
think for as long as you like.
