I'm curious if anyone has extensively used Fritz's spy feature, which allows you to see what the program is planning to do for its next move. Does this help or hinder developing your skills? So far I've found it interesting, but I'm starting to think it might be a crutch that retards development.

I never use it. I dont think its bad for your development because the move of fritz depends on your move. so you can not predecit precisely what he's going to do.

That's correct. If you manage to thwart his planned move, he comes up with some other way to do you harm.

 I think they added it to add some learning features but it just sounds like cheating

its for learning purposes because it is in the coach part of the programme.
