Special Features and
Function Keys
Your LCD Chess partner is packed with
valuable special features that can help
you learn to play better and better
chess—and to have a lot of fun!
Features are controlled by the function
keys . But there are more special features
than there are keys! So a key may have
two labels.
The label below a key shows the primary
function of the key. The label above a key
shows its secondary function.
Below are the features available to you
through the primary functions.
Remember, to access any of these fea-
tures, you simply press the proper key,
looking at the label
below the key.
