I was not sure how the practice mode works before buying, so I will clarify that first. The moves are fed to the system by touch - you make your move by touching the start and destination of a coin and the computer points out its move in the small screen, you have to perform computers move as well by touching. If you are good with that, it is a very nice practice set. It is small and compact. The magnets are good enough to prevent accidental fall. The slow speed of response makes it boring sometimes, but expected it for the price
