IX. OFF/SAVE MODE
When a game is over, you can press and start a new game, or turn the computer OFF by
pressing the key. A closing melody is played and an animation is shown.
The computer is not turned completely off, but instead retains the current chess position and the current
level and playing style in its memory while using a minimum of power. This means that you can stop in the
middle of a game and then switch the computer ON again later on to continue the same game. This also
means that you must always press the key after turning the computer ON, if you want to start
a new game. If it is your turn and you don’t make any move or input the computer will auto power off after
approximately 2 hours to save batteries.
X. SOUNDS AND LIGHT EFFECTS
If you prefer to play silently, press the SOUND/COLOUR key briey. The computer’s sound effects
will be muted. If you prefer to play without the light effects, press the SOUND/COLOUR key for
a long time. To turn the sound and effects back on, press the SOUND/COLOUR key again. The
sound is also restored when you press the NEW GAME button.

The computer has 13 different levels of difficulty plus 3 special levels:
• Level 1 to 5 are beginner levels; the computer will make mistakes to let the player take
some pieces.
On level 1 the computer will make lots of mistakes, and even sometimes place a piece on a square
where it can be immediately captured by a pawn. Playing on this level is a good way to learn how the
pieces move. You can also switch to level 1 if you are losing a game and want the computer to make
a few mistakes.
On level 2 the computer will also make lots of mistakes, but it will never place a piece on a square
where it can be immediately captured by a pawn.
On level 3 the computer will make a couple of mistakes per game.
On level 4 the computer will on average make only one mistake per game, and it will place the
queen on a square where it can be immediately captured.
On level 5 the computer will overlook certain forks and mate threats, but it will never place pieces on
squares where they can be immediately captured.
