My idea is to have an help that an expert player would give, that helps player
grow, in learning the way to think.

The "solve all" helps a frustrated player to see how far the actual field
could be solved, but I agree that the loop should be slowed down.

The idea to have a human vs. PC on the same or 2 separated fields could be
interesting ... but we would produce another game where the computer always
win ...
