In
AGGRESSIVE
mode, the computer plays the game on the offensive and
avoids surrendering pieces as much as possible.
•
In
DEFENSIVE
mode, the computer’s priority is to construct a solid defence. It
moves its pawns a lot and will surrender pieces as often as possible.
•
In
RANDOM
mode, the computer moves its pawns a lot and sometimes prefers
to make an unexpected move rather than always to make the best move.
When you switch the computer on for the first time, the game will automatically
start on level 6 and in NORMAL mode. After that, it saves the level and game
mode when you switch it off and when you press NEW GAME.
To change the level or game setting, follow these instructions:
1. Press LEVEL to enter level selection mode. The computer will illuminate the
lights corresponding to the current level (for example, square A6 corresponds to
level 6, normal game mode).
2. Consult the table above to find the square corresponding to the level and game
mode you want. Press this square.
3. Press LEVEL again to exit level selection mode. Then start the game by making
your first move, or press MOVE to allow the computer to move first.
If you want to check the level and setting selected, without changing them,
follow this procedure:
1. Press LEVEL. The computer will indicate the current level by illuminating the
lights on the square corresponding to the level.
2. Press LEVEL a second time to return to the game.
You can change or check the game level at any time during the game when
it’s your turn.
XI. RESOLVING CHECKMATE PROBLEMS
Level 15 is a CHECKMATE level on which you can resolve checkmate
problems in up to five moves. To resolve checkmate problems:
1. Place the chessmen on the board and register their positions (see paragraph
XIX).
2. Choose level 15 by pressing LEVEL, then square B7, D7, F7 or H7, then press
LEVEL again.
