Entering or moving a piece / setting up a board position
To enter the Set Up mode, press the MENU button on the right side of your chessboard and tap
square A7 with a chess piece. Now you can remove and enter chess pieces as you wish:
•
To remove a chess piece:
Simply take it off the board at any time. The computer will register
this and the LCD will display “CLR xx” for 1 sec. At the same time the corresponding square
LEDs are flashing. Wait until the square LEDs stopped flashing before you continue.
•
To select a placing chess piece:
You must tell the computer first which color and kind of
chess piece you would like to place. To do that lift the corresponding color King piece briefly
off the board as many times as necessary until you see the desired piece in the LCD window.
Example: to select a black Knight, lift the black King off the board as many times as
necessary until you see the black Knight symbol on the LCD.
Note: Do not forget to reselect a chess piece if you want to change the kind of chess piece,
e.g. a Pawn after a Knight.
•
To place a selected chess piece:
After a desired color chess piece has been selected, you may
place that chess piece onto any empty board square. The computer will register this and
display "SET xx" for 1 sec. in the LCD. In our example you can place the black Knight on the
desired square. Please wait until the square LEDs stopped flashing before you continue.
•
To choose a colour to move:
The colour to move is always indicated on the LCD colour
symbol. If changing is necessary, lift the corresponding colour King piece briefly off the
board before exiting the SET Up mode.
To exit and save that position press the MENU button on the right side of the board. If you exit
the SET UP mode with an illegal position, you will hear three beeps and the [
Error
] sign will be
on display. The chess computer will automatically return to the SET UP function so you can
rectify your error.
Note
:
•
The computer will accept and execute castlings, pawn promotion and en-passant captures if
you play from a set up board position.
•
All previous stated moves are cancelled as soon as you enter the SET UP mode.
•
If you wish to terminate the SET UP mode place all chess pieces in NEW GAME position.
•
Please wait until the computer has registered your placement/removal of a chess piece
before you continue (the square LEDs will stop flashing)
11. VERIFY
You can verify a chess piece at any time during a game, by simply lifting it up. Once the chess
piece is off the board check the LCD to see if the chess piece symbol and colour correspond with
the one just lifted off the square.
12. GO
The GO Key is used in conjunction with many of the chess computer’s special functions. In order
to activate GO, please lift your King off the board briefly.
MAIN USES:
•
To start the SOLVE MATE search.
