Basic Options
Basic option: ‘NEW GAME’
By pressing
in this menu you will force a new game. The board on the display will show the
(normal) starting position. You have to set up your pieces in accordance with situation in the display.
Pressing
will take you back to the playing mode of the current game.
Basic option: ‘SETUP BOARD’
In this mode you can setup a new position on the board with the pieces. After pressing the
button, Revelation II will scan the board and the board will recognize the position and nature of the
pieces.
Important: The color of the piece that is last recognized by the board is the color that must make the
first move after leaving setup. Because in most cases the last piece that is recognized is a black piece.
You have to lift a white piece and put it back before you press
. The display will show the name
of the last piece that is lifted, and will light up all squares that have an identical piece on it. If done
correctly you can make the first move with white.
When
is pressed the system will show the position on the display, you will be back in playing
mode and you can start playing. By default the white pieces move from the bottom to the top. You
can change this with the ‘REVERSE BOARD’ command that is described in this manual on page14.
If you press
you can indicate that the setup is reverse. This means black plays from the
bottom rows.
