[Bug-gnubg] Tutor Mode Feature Request

[Ned Cross]

The new "tutor mode" is a valuable learning tool.  More than I thought it
would be.

I especially like the ability to start from a middle game position where I
felt I was "swimming" and play it out several times using the tutor mode.
I'll also make some minor changes and play out the resulting positions to
get more comfortable with that class of positions.

The feature I would request is an option to "hide absolute equities".  By
knowing the win/lose/gammon percentages, and absolute equities I find my
cube decisions are influenced since I am artificially cued to know how close
I am to a proper cube.  But by knowing just what the RELATIVE equities
between the chosen move and the alternatives are, I could  focus on my
checker error and still have full opportunity to make a cube blunder as
well.

Come to think of it, I suppose this request could be a little redundant
since GNU does tell me whether my move is "doubtful/bad/verybad" so perhaps
if I stick to the "rethink move" option I'll be ok.  Nevertheless, a
"hint-lite" would show GNU's relative ranking of the checker plays, and that
could make it easier to understand a key element of  the position (hit vs
not, break anchor, etc.).
