NO OPTIONS ON THESE SQUARES

On:+Co:ch Off:-Co:ch

Selecting +Co:ch turns on special coaching features that

encourage you to concentrate on your strategic planning! In

Coach Mode, the computer looks over your shoulder while

you play, watching what you do and helping you when you

need assistance! In this unique “Guardian Angel” capacity,

the computer will warn you with a Capture Alert if you are in

danger of losing a piece. If one of your pieces is threatened

by a lesser valued piece, for example, the computer will

sound a series of warning beeps and flash the board lights of

the threatened piece for a few seconds. To continue the

game, make your next move (or take back your last move

and make a different one).

With Coach Mode on, the computer will also sound a

Tactical Alert if it thinks you have committed a blunder and

your move is about to lead to an avoidable material loss. It

does this by sounding a series of warning beeps and flashing

the move it intends to make. You can either enter the

computer’s move, or take back your own move and make

another one.

e. Ticking Clock (Square E1)

On:+tic Off:-tic

When you turn this option on, you activate a ticking sound

that makes the computer’s clock sound like a real chess

clock! Just imagine—you can create the atmosphere of a

championship chess tournament in your own living room!

f. Countdown Clock (Square F1)

On:+c:dn Off:-c:dn

Turning this option on causes the computer to display the

countdown time instead of the elapsed time. Notice that the

piece symbols also reverse direction, counting “down” from

King to pawn.

This option is only available in combination

with the Tournament and Blitz Levels.

g. Play White from the Top (Square G1)

On:+toP Off:-toP

Want to depart from the usual standard and let the com-

puter play the White pieces from the top of the board? Then

try out this interesting option! Choose +toP at the beginning

of a game (new game or a new teach mode game), and set

up the board with the Black pieces closest to you. Pieces set

up for a new game with White play from top is shown in the

diagram in this section. Then, press ENTER to start the

game. Watch as the computer makes the first move for White

from the top of the board!

See “PLAYING BLACK FROM THE BOTTOM?

HERE’S THE POSITION!” for a diagram showing the

correct piece set-up when using this option.

When the computer plays White from the top, board nota-
