Analyze this

The user interface of this app is not very user-friendly. It would be much better if the UI were redesigned to be more like Analyze This.

Excellent except for one major flaw: you can’t explore side variations with the engine without then having to reload the game and start all over.

非常好，不是托，应用是免费的，然后里面的AI还是挺强的，最高的水准大概有个职业的可能吧，如果设备好的话，然后副盘的话也可以实时有那个标记，然后江沙的话也会有提示，非常不错
