Here, the black queen on B4 can either capture the white
piece on C5 and end up on D6, or capture the white piece on
C3 and end up on D2. A normal black piece could
not
execute the capturing move via C3 to D2, as it only moves
forward.
Note:
If a man lands on its crowning square by making a capture, it may
not
capture another
enemy piece as part of the same move.

Playing against the computer
Press
START
; “NEW GAME“ starts blinking in the display. Press
„E“
. Use ▲ or ▼ to select
“CHECKERS“ and confirm with
„E“.
Press the squares you are moving
from
and
to
. For a multiple capture, press each square where
the capturing piece lands.
Computer’s move: The LCD indicates the
from
square (“blinking”) and the
to
square, e.g.
D6C5
– press the square marked D6 then the square marked C5, as you move the piece. For
a multiple capture, press each square that “blinks” on the LCD.
After a capture, the bottom line shows (e.g.)
E5=X
. Press the square as you remove the piece
that was captured there.
If you reach the opposite back rank, thereby acquiring a queen, the coordinates for the
promotion square and the symbol for the queen start blinking. Change your man into a queen
(by adding another piece on top) and
press
the promotion square
again
to confirm. Follow
the
same
steps
if
the
computer
acquires
a
queen.
Note:
The computer’s level of play can be adjusted as in § 12.2. For players who are no longer
novices, Level 7 or above is recommended.
