As far as a training aid, it's great. It gives you a chance to do it. If you don't get the puzzle, it highlights what you should be looking at. If you still don't get it, it provides more insight and tells you that it might be a move, but it's not the one or you don't get sufficient material with the exchange. Anyway, it's good at working you through.
