One of the things that would be nice is an option to not have the solution shown immediately after an incorrect answer, but allow the user to continue trying to solve the problem on their own.  I think this would help me learn better, sort of a give a man a fish he'll eat for a day, teach a man to fish and he'll kick your ass at chess for a lifetime sort of thing. 

I'm not sure about logistics for rated problems (maybe only the first attempt counts), but it sure would be useful for unrated user defined problem sets.

Hi Kennyc,

This is a good suggestion and something worth adding an option for.  At the moment you could do something similar if you can ignore the main line info in the move list, the only move that will take you to the next move in the display after you've failed the problem is the correct move so by somehow ignoring the move list on the right (maybe cover it it up), and playing the moves rather than clicking forward you can have a poor-mans version of your suggested feature (while you wait for a proper version :-)  ).

Regards,
Richard.
