d. Clear the entire board:
If you want to set up a board position it is best to clear the entire chessboard before entering the desired position.

this position as follows:
−
Press the SET UP key twice, so the "
SE t – –
" comes on display.
−
Now press CLEAR key to cancel all pieces from the computer's memory (on the LCD display first "
cLEAr
" and
immediately after "
SE t – –
" will appear).
−
Now enter your position piece by piece into the computer as described above.
−
To end this mode press GO.
−
The color to move can be changed via the CHANGE COLOR key.
Note:
After having left the SET UP mode if a change of color is required press the CHANGE COLOR key. You may
now enter a move for the indicated color or make the computer move by pressing the GO key.
15) RESTORE
Key
This function of the EMERALD CLASSIC
plus
allows you to restore the board position to the very beginning of the
game. The computer can store 112 half moves in its memory, which normally will 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 half moves have been played the
game will not be at the new game position. After pressing the RESTORE key the display will show "
bEG in
" and then
[
] to indicate the beginning of the game history.
Note:
You may use the complementary function key TRACE FORWARD to replay through the entire game.
Should you enter a move for your color you will erase all of the game history and the computer will treat this as a new
game.

features available on Setting 4:
a)
Piece warning feature:
If one of your higher value piece is threatened you will hear a double beep to warn you
and you will see the square position and the piece symbol of the threatened chess piece
on display. This is valuable learning feature for the novice player.
b)
Opening book tutoring:
The EMERALD CLASSIC
plus
has a built-in opening book of about 8900 half moves.
When you play a game from a New Game position and you are making a move "off
book" the computer will warn you with a double beep and the LCD display will show
"OFF BH"
indicating that your move is not played according to the opening book list.
The LCD will keep your "off book" move displayed until you confirm this move by
pressing the GO key or take back your “off book” move (see section IV.9.) and make
another move which corresponds to the openings list.
Once the book move line is completed and terminated, this will be indicate by
"EndBH"
on the LCD display.
Make use of this interesting feature to learn more about the opening book game.
