The parameters in the third row are the moves and the period for the second and subsequent time
controls. Change the figures to 7 and 0:15:00, in the same way as you changed the figures in the

‘Fixed depth’ levels
On these levels the computer always analyses to the same depth, regardless of the amount of time this
requires. Any depth in the range 1-38 ‘ply’ may be selected.
5.4.8
‘Find mate’ level
On this level, the computer searches for the quickest way to force checkmate from the current position. If it
fails to find a forced mate in 37 ‘ply’ or less, it displays ‘No mate found’ on the ‘Analysis’ info screen (see
Section 4.3).
Note that on this level, the ‘Analysis’ screen gives no evaluation of the position.
5.5
Menu: Nextb (Next best)
If you select this item, the computer will discard its last move and compute and play the one it rates as
second best. The display (bottom line) and the lights will guide you in retracting the old move and carrying
out the new one.
If you like, the operation may be repeated to produce the third and fourth best moves ... etc.
5.6
Menu: Start
Selecting ‘Start’ takes you to the start of the game score
–
it has the effect of ‘taking back’ all the moves at
once (see Section 3.5). Using the button, you may replay them one by one, to review the entire game. (A
convenient way to do this is described in Section 3.2: a press on RED enables you to move the piece without
pressing the squares.)
5.7
Menu: End
If moves have been taken back, this command has the opposite effect to the ‘Start’ command
–
it returns
directly to the current game position, i.e. the end of the game score. The ‘Verfy’ function (see 5.13) can guide
you in replacing the pieces correctly.
