If you select this item, The King offers you a choice of 4 levels of playing strength:
Here, the * shows that the computer is currently set to play on level A2. By means of the ñ / ò buttons, any
line on the screen can be ‘highlighted’. To switch to a new level, highlight it and press GREEN.

These are ‘Adaptive’ levels: the computer adapts its play to its opponent’s strength. If your play during a

In this example, the ‘highlighted’ level corresponds to an international (‘Elo’) rating of 1600.
