Alternate correct moves

I've had a bit of trouble with Chess mentor. What has happened is that I have chosen a move and got told it is the "Alternate correct move" and been asked to try again. But then I have to find another move and all the moves I've looked at seem worse than the one I first chose. I lost a lot of the score like this, and it seems wrong because my first choice was fine.

Also the system does not have enough leniency. One example is

where I wanted to play 2...g6, entering lines similar to the Grunfeld defence. I never ever consider the mentor's "solution" 2...e6, perhaps because I have an aversion to murdering my Queen's Bishop.

Could this be improved

Excellent suggestion .. perhaps they could score points for identifiying an alternate move. Or do you need to know the name and complete variation?

Good idea! I had a similar one based on the idea that once you've completed a puzzle you can re-examine it without it affecting your grade. This could be done on a move by move basis.

Yes, it could be improved by not depending on the Chess Mentor program for the answers to life lol. I had the same issue and decided I was just better than it and some of the "lessons" might interfere with my style

 Good advice. It's definately for the best that I didn't buy any lessons but just took the free ones.
