Elegant solutions

I am very much an amateur, and I have not been able to solve any of the 20 problems I have worked on so far without using the hints. However, I very much enjoy studying the positions and trying to figure out how they work and why the opponents make the moves they do. It is very engaging, and I hope educational, to go back over them several times I dont know if the exercises will improve my playing, but I do know that they greatly increase my appreciation for the game and my respect for the masters. The graphics are excellent with nice options as to colors and styles, it is easy to retrace ones moves, the clock is unobtrusive, the hint button allows choosing the degree of help desired, and everything works smoothly and quickly (except for the occasional crash). I have solved all of the problems in Mate in One; they are merely entertaining and a nice ego boost, some rather clever given the parameter of leaving just a single move to consummate checkmate. If I end up getting Mate in Three, it will no doubt be to just sit back and enjoy the elegance of watching how the moves are made. Without doubt, these apps are worth much more than the measly buck they cost.
