It is Black to play. White spent 1 minute 38 seconds on the last move, and a total of 27 minutes 34 seconds
on all moves played so far.
To reach the next time control, White must make 10 moves within 32 minutes 26 seconds. (There is no such
data on ‘Normal’, ‘Easy’, ‘Fun’, ‘Fixed depth’ and ‘Find mate’ levels, where the system of timing is different.)
The third and fourth lines of the screen give the corresponding information for Black, including the time
spent so far on the current move (6 seconds).

always indicated by the ‘inverted’ wording at the left and right of the bottom line.
Also notice the signs in the
middle
of the line. Here, the
2D
signs tell you that all four ‘direction’ buttons are
currently enabled for performing menu operations.

If you want the computer to play White, select ‘Move’ to begin the game.
If you select ‘Move’ when it is the computer’s turn, it will cut short its calculations and play immediately.

Menu: Hint
Select ‘Hint’ if you want the computer to suggest a move for you. For about 2 seconds the move is indicated
by the LEDs on the chessboard and also appears in notation at the bottom left of the screen, e.g.:
