Erasing or Adding Pieces During
a Game
Follow these steps to erase or add pieces
during a game.
1 . Press SET UP. The computer displays
— SET UP.
2. Press the piece symbol key for the
piece you want to erase or add and

5. When you finish setting up the pieces,
press SET UP.
Note: If the computer displays ILL after
you complete Step 5, it indicates that one
or more pieces were erased or added
illegally. To correct the setup, see “Cor¬
recting Illegal Setups.”
Correcting Illegal Setups
To be legal, a set up must meet the
following conditions. Otherwise, you must
correct any illegal entry.
• Each side has one king.
• The king for the side which is not to
move is not in check.
• There are no pawns on the first or
eighth rank.
If the computer displays ILL, it indicates
that one or more pieces were set up
illegally. To correct the set up:
1. Press the piece symbol key for each
piece on the board to verify piece
positions. See “Verifying Piece Posi¬
tions.”
2. Set up a piece, or remove the illegal
piece, or replace an incorrectly
placed piece with the right piece.
See “Erasing or Adding Pieces Dur¬
ing a Game.”
3. Press SET UP.
POSITION EVALUATION
The computer can evaluate the current
board position. Press EVALUATION dur¬
ing the computer’s turn. The computer
displays E nn. nn is an evaluation
rating from -99 to 99.
If the evaluation rating is a positive
number, it means that white has an ad¬
vantage over black. If the evaluation
rating is a negative number, it means that
black has an advantage over white.
Note: The evaluation rating might change
during the computer’s move because
the computer follows different play lines
in its analysis.
When the computer makes its move, it
returns to normal display. Press
EVALUATION again after you have made
your move to see the computer’s next
move and continue the game.
Note: The computer will not display an
evaluation rating while set to a mate
I finder level.
SEARCH DEPTH AND
CURRENT MOVE
While the computer is thinking, press
DISPLAY MOVE to see the search depth
and move that it is currently considering.
The computer displays the search depth,
indicating how far ahead in the game
the computer is considering its reaction
to a move you might make. For example,
d-2 shows that the computer is consid¬
ering its move to a depth of 2 half-moves
(1 move). The computer also changes
the rank/file board lights, showing the
moves it is considering.
When the computer makes its next
move, it displays the move.
Note: The computer will not display
current move information while set to a
mate finder level.
