IV. SPECIAL FUNCTIONS
1) NEW GAME Key
Pressing NEW GAME will reset the computer's chessboard to the starting position. This key is effective even while in the
special modes like SET UP, VERIFY and SET LEVEL.
Press NEW GAME every time you switch the computer on, or whenever you wish to commence a new game.
Note: The SET LEVEL, RANDOM and SOUND values will be retained.
2) SET LEVEL Key
Your NOVAG EMERALD CLASSIC plus has 128 different level settings (including Solve Mate Levels) to choose from.
You can learn and improve your chess skills with this computer.
The levels are divided into 12 basic sections and are listed in 2 groups as described in this chapter. On the LCD you will
see the following abbreviations for these 12 level sections:
Tr = Tournament Level Section - At = Average Time Section - Ft = Fixed Time Section - Sd = Sudden Death
Section Fd = Fixed Depth Section - An = Analysis Section - EA = Easy Level Section - BE = Beginner
Section
IN = Solve Mate Section - Fn = Fun Level Section - EG = End Game Section and Gn = Classical Game Section
As shown on the charts of LEVEL GROUP I and LEVEL GROUP II, each playing level corresponds to one of the 64
board squares. To set the computer to any of the 128 level settings, press the SET LEVEL key to select either LEVEL
GROUP I or LEVEL GROUP II and then press the corresponding chess board square (A1, A2, to.....H8). On the LCD the
chosen level setting will be displayed. To confirm the level setting and exit this mode press the GO key.
For example, if you wish to set level 12 (= Tr 12 of LEVEL GROUP I - Tournament Level Section), press the SET
LEVEL key once or twice to select LEVEL GROUP I (the LCD will show "
LEtr1 ") and then press square B4. This will
be indicated by the corresponding rank and file LEDs as well as on the LCD. Once you have set the desired level press
GO to exit this mode. Now you may enter your first move.
Note: You may check or change the playing levels at any time during a game, but not whilst the computer is
calculating. If you wish you could interrupt the computing time and call-off a computer move instantly by
pressing the GO key. This will be the best possible move the computer has calculated up to that moment.
If you switch the computer off to continue your game at a later time, or press the NEW GAME key, the previous
set playing level will be retained provided you have batteries in your computer or it is connected to the adaptor.
