NOTE:
It is important to set the captured pieces in TOP TO BOTTOM order on the correct side as described
above, otherwise you may run the risk that the chess computer will place one chess piece on top of
another. This may damage the unit and is excluded from the warranty. Should this ever happen and
the arm get stuck please unplug and re-plug the unit. The arm will then drop the chess piece, if any,
and move to its original position.
MEMORY
The unit will retain the last board position, providing it is connected to the mains. If you are using
SET UP or VERIFY mode the computer will remain in that mode when you switch it off. To
continue the game or start a new game press the GO key first to exit these modes.

The chess computer was programmed in accordance with the International Chess Rules and will
display "ERROR" if you try to make an illegal move. Retract your move without pressing on any
square. You can now make another legal move.

CAPTURING A PIECE

Remove the opponent's chess piece and place it on the side of the board as described above. Now
make your move as usual. If the computer captures a piece it will execute its move automatically. The
LCD will display the symbol "x" and in cases of "en passant" pawn captures this will be indicated by
the symbol "EP".

GAME FEATURES

a) Castlings
When Castling first press the 2 squares for the King and then move the Rook by applying pressure
on the appropriate squares (the computer executes Castlings itself). Please note that you may not
castle while your King is in check, nor may you castle through check. The chess computer accepts
and executes Castlings in set up board positions.
b) En Passante Captures
To make this move you only have to enter the "from" and "to" squares as in a normal move and
remove the captured piece by gently pressing that square. The computer executes En Passant
automatically. The LDC will display the en passant capture as "EP".
c) Pawn Promotions / Underpromotions
When (under-) promoting the LCD will display "Pro?". Choose the piece you wish to (under-)
promote by pressing the respective Piece Symbol Key on the board. Please note that if a computer
pawn reaches the opposite side, the computer will only indicate on the LCD display into which piece
the pawn will be promoted/underpromoted.
