Congratulations on your purchase of
Excalibur Electronics’ LCD Chess!
You’ve purchased both your own person-
al chess trainer and a partner who’s
always ready for a game—and who can
improve as you do! Talking and audio
sounds add another dimension to your
LCD Chess computer for increased
enjoyment and play value.
Install the Batteries
Using a small Phillips screwdriver,
remove the battery-compartment panel
screw on the back of LCD Chess. Then
remove the panel by pulling gently from
the top. Install three fresh, alkaline AAA
batteries, making sure to follow the dia-
gram in each battery slot so that the polar-
ity (+ or -) of the batteries is correct.
Replace the battery compartment panel.
When replacing the screw, secure it gen-
tly, do not force or over-tighten it.
Play a Game Right Away
After you have installed the batteries, the
display will show the chess board with all
the pieces on their starting squares. The
LCD will also show
01 01
CHESS CHESS
. This
indicates you are at the first move of the
game and ready to play chess. If it does
not display
01 01
CHESS CHESS
, press RESET
using a thin pointed object.
Unless you instruct it otherwise, LCD
Chess gives you the White pieces —the
ones at the bottom of the board. White
always moves first. You’re ready to play!
The way you select and make your move
is very simple, but the eight - direction
rocker button may be difficult to use at
first. It is different from some video game
controllers because it allows diagonal
movement.
For up, down, left and right movements,
it helps if you push the button straight out
away from the center of the rocker. Do
not press in the center of the rocker,
because you may cause a diagonal move-
ment to occur.
IMPORTANT NOTE:
When you are in check, you
have very few moves. If you find
you can’t select the move you
want to make, look for the ‘+’
check sign. You probably forgot
you are in check.
