Does anyone know how to change the hint level XG2? The help menu states that it can be changed in options/game mode however when I select that it just give options for the different game modes.

I have the game settings at a high level and the hints are obviously set a lot lower as some of the hints turn out to be blunders!

I have now found the setting for the hint level and note that it is set at the highest level XG Roller++. I assume that the hints are just that, "hints" and not fully analysed which if accepted is why they sometimes turn out to be errors or even blunders following the full analysis?

Can you post an example?

Make sure that when you do the "full analysis" you are comparing only moves analyzed at the same level. Comparing moves analyzed at different levels can give incorrect results. So the blunder label is not necessarily correct unless all the moves you are comparing are analyzed at the same level.
