EN PASSANT CAPTURES
are performed in the same way. The
computer will automatically remind you to remove the captured
pawn. Press down on the square, as you remove the pawn.
CASTLING
is done by first making the king's move in the usual
way. The computer will automatically remind vou to move the
rook. Press down on the 'from' and 'to' squares, as you move the
rook.
PAWN PROMOTION
is performed automatically by the computer. The
computer will assume that you want to promote to a queen. If you want
to promote to a rook, bishop or knight, you must press the key marked
by the approariate piece. Vou must do this after pressing down the
'from' square, but before pressing down the 'to' square.
When the computer promotes one of its own pawns, it will
indicate which piece it wants by lighting one of the piece lights
as soon as you press down the 'from* square. If you did not pay
attention, you can always check the position (see section 15).
The computer will nearly always choose a queen, but in some
positions it might decide to take a different piece.

ILLEGAL MOVES
If you try to make an illegal or impossible move, or try to do something
else which is not possible, you will hear the error signal, and the
ERROR light will come on. Whenever you hear this signal, it means
that you have done something wrong, and that your last entry have
been ignored.
If e.g. you have tried to make an illegal move, you can just
continue and place the piece on a legal square, or you can
place it on its original square and move a different piece.
You will also hear the error signal if e.g. you try to move one of the
opponent's pieces.
