N. B.:
A light pressure is enough as long as you press in the centre of the square. If
you press too hard on the squares, you risk long-term damage to the chessboard.
IV. THE COMPUTER’S MOVES
At the beginning of the game, the computer will immediately indicate its move
using the opening library of 20 different moves. Later on in the game, the green
light at the top left (row 8’s light) will flash indicating that it’s Black’s move and
that the computer is thinking.
When the computer makes its move, it will play a specific tune.
1. Two green lights will illuminate indicating the row and column of the
square whose piece the computer wants to move. Press lightly on this
square and take the piece.
2. Next, the lights show the coordinates of the square the piece is moving to.
Place the piece on this square by pressing lightly. The light will illuminate
again showing that it’s now your turn.

2. Press the square you want to move to and place the piece on it. Remove
the piece from the chessboard without pressing any other square.
CAPTURING PIECES EN PASSANT
The instructions above also apply to taking pieces en passant, except
that the computer will tell you to remove the captured pawn.
1. Press the square you want to move from and pick up the pawn.
2. Press the square you’re moving to and put the pawn on it.
3. The computer will tell you to remove the captured pawn by illuminating
