Incorrect analysis. As I was using the application I saw interesting side variations that the app said were incorrect but gave no explanation. In the "Clearing The A & H Files" set of exercises I noticed a classic bishop h7 sac that the app claimed lead to forced mate but Shredder's analysis found black's king had an escape. In the same position one of the moves I played was called suboptimal, but it lead to mate as quickly as the move that the app recommended. I do NOT recommend this app!
