Next, press ON/CLEAR, followed by
LEVEL. For example, you can set the
computer to Level 73, the problem-solv-
ing level, and press ON/CLEAR again.
Note: We recommend using the VERIFY
function after setting up a problem-solv-
ing position to check the positions of all
the pieces.
Changing a current chess position
To change a position on the board, press
SET UP, and the display will fi rst show
the position of the White king. (If youʼd
like to see the position of a different
piece, press SET UP and then press the
silver key which has the correct piece
symbol located above it, that is, the
PIECE key.) If there are no pieces of the
selected type, the display will show “NO
NE.”)
You can next press the pieceʼs square to
change the pieceʼs color, and press the
same square again to remove the piece.
You may also press on any legal square
to place the piece elsewhere on the
board. The above steps may be repeated
as desired. Press CLEAR to exit this
mode at any time. (Note: You cannot exit
Set Up mode unless there is at least one
White king and one Black king on the
board.)
Setting up a position of changing a posi-
tion in checkers
This feature works just like the set-up
mode in chess. Since checkers has only
two kinds of pieces, men and kinds, the
set-up move in checkers is even simpler
to use.
Follow the directions in the chess section
of this guide above. Just keep in mind
that when the computer displays “1,”
itʼs indicating an ordinary man. When
it displays “2,” the computer is indicat-
ing a king. When you press the SET UP
(king) key to enter set up mode, your
computer will automatically show you
the position of the fi rst king, in case you
want to change it. Continuing to push the
KING key will give you the opportunity
to change any king on the board. Press
the QUEEN key to change the location
of regular men in the same way. When
youʼre done setting up a position, use the
BLACK/WHITE key to let the computer
know whose move it is. Then press ON/
CLEAR. If you wish to make a move
against the computer in the position,
simply make your move. If you want the
computer to move, press the MOVE key.
Chapter 6: Chess Training
Features
The most famous and successful chess
teachers in the world take their begin-
ning students from the simple to the
complex by having them play “mini-
game” of chess that concentrate on just
or more types of pieces.
Even advanced players practice these
basics, just as a concert pianist continues
to practice the scales so that they remain
second nature. Like any great trainer,
your Master Chess will play you these
special practice games.
For example, Special Training Mode
1 will train you to play just pawns and
Kings on the board. To train in this
