I'm a beginner and playing some games against the computer, plus doing puzzles and the lessons. Today, while playing Lara (I think) and using the "3 hint, 3 take back" option, I was a bit stuck in the middle game. I try not to use them but I asked for a hint. Computer gave me a hint, and while it didn't look great, I decided to make the move. When I did, it was flagged as a blunder!! What the heck?? Does this happen often?

I have no idea. All I know is the computer doesn't play like a real person would. I find almost no value in playing the computer.

The computer game I play is really awful. It makes the most stupid illogical mistakes but it's good for making me feel better after I've taken a good beating against a real person!

The computer has got levels of skills. You should set up different level, if game seems to you too easy

It just seems really strange to me that the computer could give me a hint, that I use, and then it's flagged as a blunder. It seems as if the computer program is buggy.

It's a hint, not a solution. It's perfectly normal. It's only supposed to give you an idea and a little insight into what you could do in a situation. Sometimes they are great moves, other times not.

Ask your opponent for a hint, and he will help you hang your queen every time.

Sometimes I do an endgame drill, and it marks it as a mistake or blunder, Usually because I give up opposition or I get into a zugzwang. When I click hint, it reccomends the same blunder/mistake. IDK why it does this, they need to fix it.
