SQUARE E8 : REFEREE MODE

In this mode you disable the computing of moves by the computer so you may make moves for 
White and Black, while the computer still checks their legality. This feature may be used to enter 
particular book openings or to allow 2 players to challenge each other. 
Once in the REFEREE mode (see “USING THE MENU FUNCTION” above), tap on square E8 
to change from REFEREE off “

rEF” 

to REFEREE on:

 

"

rEF 

". The following features are still 

available whilst in this mode: 
 
TAKE BACK / CHANGE COLOR / SET UP / VERIFY / SOUND / GO.

Your computer can play against itself and can be set to the following functions: 
Setting "

" = autoplay on :  will allow the computer to play against itself until the end 

of the game (1 game only). 

 
Setting " 

demo 

" = demo on :

(at the end of a game the computer will restart with 
another game). 

 
Setting " 

nor

  " :

means autoplay and demo function are off and you are in 
the normal playing mode. 

 
To enter any of the settings above press the MENU button and then tap square F8. The default 
setting is “nor”. To choose either AUTO or DEMO re-tap this square until you see the desired 
setting. Press the MENU button again to exit and the computer will immediately start its game. 
All moves are shown via the LEDs on the chessboard and also on the LCD display. If your board 
is connected to a PC you can follow the game on your computer screen, if not you can execute the 
moves for the computer and follow it on your chessboard. 
To exit this mode whilst the computer is still executing opening moves (the LCD will only display 
the move it makes), set the chess pieces up in the opening position. But please bear in mind that 
this will cancel the current game. 
Once the game is more advanced and is out of the opening book (the LCD shows its thought 
process during each move now) you can enter GO (lift your King off the board briefly) to exit the 
AUTOPLAY / DEMO mode. The move currently being calculated must be executed before the 
computer exits this mode. 
Note: 

The Autoplay/ Demo mode can be entered at any time during the game.

SQUARE G8 : GAME REVIEW (ORIGIN) 

This function allows you to replay your game. The computer can store up to 112 halfmoves in its 
memory, which will normally allow you to go back to the New Game Position. If, however the 
game was started from a SET UP position or if more than 112 halfmoves have been played the 
game will not be at the new game position and the moves need to be traced back to the origin. 
 
To activate the GAME REVIEW function, push the MENU button on the right side of the 
chessboard. Lift the chess piece on square G8 to enter this function (if there is no piece, please use 
the spare menu piece) and ORIGIN will be displayed in the LCD. Tap this square again and the 
LCD will show BEGIN to indicate that this function has been successfully activated. Push the
