    Above is a picture of the program main window. At the bottom right you can see my three attempts at the best move:

My first move was Nf2+, resulting in a penalty of 5.52 pawns. You can configure the program to accept moves below an arbitrary penalty threshold (by default it is set to 0.25 pawns).
Next I played h5, but that was another 7.07 penalty.
At last, I got it right with Qxd3.
You can greatly customize the program by simply feeding it different kinds of PGN files, such as:

Master games that match the openings you play
Your own games
Tactical positions from well-known collections
Games of your chess hero
