Computer Recommended Continuations?
Yes, many computer recommendations involving short combinations are very helpful in honing a chess player's combination skills. So as chess players, we submit our games to computer evaluations in order to improve our calculating abilities and avoid the repetition of the same mistakes.
However, there is a certain annoying computer phenomenon which we will eventually notice. You see, the computer, being a computer, always finds the most economical way to attain victory. So if we choose a roundabout way, it will categorize it as a blunder. For example if we checkmate our opponent in seven moves, while the computer can accomplish it in five, our combo will be deemed a blunder.
Well, those recommendations might very well be accurate. They are indeed more economical. However, they are not always a good idea. Why? Well, because they very often, they result in certain doubled-edged positions which we, as fallible human beings, would prefer to avoid. Not the computer, of course! It can very easily "see" all the various continuations and effortlessly sees ways to counter the opponent's defensive ideas advantageously.

However, as a limited and fallible human beings, such double-edged positions are frequently not crystal clear us. They might demand calculations that might require time-consuming analyses leading us to lose on time because of the convoluted ramifications or complications which might profoundly baffle us.
So after considering the computer's recommendation as opposed to our more roundabout way of winning, we will very often prefer our longer way to victory instead.
