3. Play a game
Once the language is selected, the screen shows the chessboard
with the pieces in the starting position.
You can now begin a game with the computer. Place the chess
pieces (supplied with the package) on the membrane board, with
White at the end next to the controls. We suggest you play your
first game with White.
Note: If you don’t press a control button or a square on the
chessboard during an interval of 5 minutes (or 1 minute if the
batteries are low), the display is “dimmed”. The next press restores
the brightness.
Play your move
Press with your piece on the squares it is moving from and to. The computer gives a
“click” in acknowledgement.
To castle: make the king’s move, then the rook’s move.
For an en passant capture: move the capturing pawn, then press the square of the
captured one.
For pawn promotion:
• Carry out the pawn’s move.
• Using the / buttons, display the desired piece type.
• Press RED, GREEN or the promotion square.
Square shown in yellow on the LCD: You have selected this as the “from” square. (To
cancel, press the square again.)
Square shown in red: You are prompted to press this square to carry out the computer’s
move or to complete your own “special” move (castling etc.).
If you try to make an illegal move (or press any wrong square or button), you hear a low-
pitched sound. Simply continue as normal.
Execute the computer’s move
The move is announced by a sound signal. The LCD shows the piece switching between
the “from” and “to” squares, and the move appears in notation at the bottom of the
display.
To execute the move, press each square as prompted by the red highlighting. A “ping”
announces check.
