Tutor
In Chess, the “tutor” feature draws your attention to weak moves and warns you of the
computer’s threats. To switch this feature off or on:
(1)
Select TUTOR from the Options sub-menu (§ 12.1)
(2)
Press „E“ to switch between
1
and
0
. (The symbol
shows that the tutor
feature is “on”.)
(3)
Press ESC twice to return to the game.
When the “tutor” is “on”, the computer will display
SURE ?
if it thinks your last move is a
mistake. You may then do any of the following:
Press SWAP for explanation, e.g.:
o
“ You could checkmate me”
o
“I can take that piece.”
o
“You could win material worth 3 pawns.”
Press SWAP again, to see the move that the computer thinks you have missed.
Press ▼ and take your move (see § 12.3).
Press ESC to let your move stand.
If the computer displays
CAREFUL!
, its own last move contains a threat. You may then press
SWAP for explanation, e.g.
“I am threatening checkmate.”
A second press on SWAP displays the threatened move. When ready, press ESC and continue
playing.

Chess exercises – find the solution
The computer has a set of 100 Exercise positions in which you can try to find the correct
move. The higher the number of the Exercise position, the more difficult it is to find the correct
solution.
The
solutions
are
shown
at
the
end
of
this
manual.
To use this feature:
(1)
Select EXERCISE from the list of Chess modes (§ 4.2.2)
(2)
Use ▲ or ▼ and „E“ to select an Exercise number. The symbol □ or ■ shows which side
is to move, and a scrolling message indicates the task – e.g. “Find the move that will lead
to checkmate.” The symbol ↕ (“blinking”) indicates that the position on the board is an
exercise.
(3)
Play the move that you think is correct.
