as you learn and improve!

Bonus: The Appendix at the end of this manual gives a

complete listing of all 20 Study Games. These games have

been included for reference and historical value, and to

provide details on the players, locations and dates for each

match. Remember that the listings are included as a refer-

game listings before trying to solve the puzzles on your own!

8. VERIFYING/SETTING UP POSITIONS

8.1 Verifying Positions

See “IT’S EASY TO VERIFY PIECES!” for a step-by-

step example of using Verify Mode.

If you should knock over the chess pieces or if you think

your board position may be incorrect, the computer can verify

all the piece locations for you!

When it is your turn, press one of the PIECE SYMBOL

KEYS (&, %, $, #, @, or !). The computer shows you where

the first piece of that type is located on the board—the dis-

play shows the piece symbol, color indicator, and square

designation, and board lights also indicate the square. Press

the same PIECE SYMBOL KEY again to see the location of

the next piece of that same type. All the White pieces are

shown first, then the Black pieces. When there are no more

pieces of that type on the board, only the piece symbol

remains in the display.

Want to verify more pieces? Repeat the above procedure

using the other PIECE SYMBOL KEYS, verifying the entire

board if desired! Press CLEAR to return to normal play.

8.2 Changing and Setting Up Positions

See “TRY OUT POSITION MODE!” to get an idea of

how this feature works.

Position Mode is an exciting feature which lets you set up

special board positions to play from, or problems you want

the computer to solve!

Caution: All previous moves in your

current game will be erased from the computer’s memory if

you make changes to the position during a game.

Press POSITION to enter Position Mode, and the display

shows -POS-. You can change or set up a position whenever

it is your turn to move. After you have set up your new posi-

tion, press CLEAR to exit Position Mode.

• To remove a piece from the board, press the piece

down on its square and then remove it.

Notice that the

display indicates the piece type and color, along with a

minus sign (–) and the square location.

• To move a piece from one square to another, press

the piece down on its original square, pick it up, and then

press it down on the new square.

As you do this, the

display will show a minus sign (–) for the first square, and

a plus sign (+) for the second square.

• To add a piece to the board, first press the PIECE

SYMBOL KEY for that piece (&, %, $, #, @, or !). Make

sure the display shows the correct color symbol for the

piece you want to add. If it does not, press BLACK/> or

</WHITE to change the color. When the display shows

the correct piece type and color, place that piece on the

desired square and press down gently.

The display

shows a plus sign (+), along with the location for that

square.

To add another piece of the same type, simply

press down on another square. To add a different piece,

press a different PIECE SYMBOL KEY and follow the

same steps outlined above.

• To clear the board, press ENTER while you are in

Position Mode. The display will show _ to symbolize

an empty chessboard. Press ENTER once more to

confirm that you do want to clear the board. Then add

handy when you want to set up a position with only a few

pieces, where it would be much easier to start out with an

Change the color, if necessary, by pressing BLACK/>
