I don´t know for sure, but it always gives me that symbol if the text move is a lot worse than the *trapezoidal* symbol-move...

EDIT: I see now the answer is given in post #4 =) Thanks rooperi!

Great post rooperi !

But still another two more symbol

What does the red square mean? And the last *** with _ mean ?

That symbol in post#6 (in fritz 8 at least) is nothing to do with chess: rather, it means that there is a tactical puzzle... so if you scroll through the game to this move the program should prompt you to find the best move.

I do.

 

BTW, the three asterix mean there is a training exercise, as has been mentioned already.
