3.7 Position Display
If it is your turn and you want to check the position on the board, you can press the key.
A position display will show up where the upper and lower half of the board will be
displayed side by side.
Pressing that key again will flip the board. Pressing it once more will display the material
list which shows the rough difference in material, counted in pawns. The pawn scoring is
queen=9, rook=5, bishop=3, knight=3 and pawn=1.
Press the
a
or the
r
key to switch back to the game screen.
3.8 Game Info
If it is your turn, you can press the
i
key to open a dialogue box with some game
information. You will get the evaluation of the position in pawns and the computing depth in
plies. In case that the selective search is deeper than the brute force base, the depth
display will be “
x
/
y
”. x indicated the brute force base, and
y
the selective depth.
If a principal variation is available, pressing the
a
key will display it. The output format,
however, will not be the “pretty print” format, but the from-to notation.
3.9 Display Light
You can switch on the display backlight at any time using the
☼
key. This will override any
configured light settings for 30 seconds.
3.10 Auto-Save
After every move, the game will be saved automatically unless you have a manually saved
game, which blocks the auto-save. In case of power loss or immediate system shutdown
due to failing batteries, you will be able to retrieve the last game status after the next
power-on via the menu system, see chapter
5.3.1. Load Game
.
The CT800 is able to keep a saved game for about one week without being powered.
For power-on auto-save diagnostics, see also chapter
