SETTING THE SKILL LEVEL (Level Key) 

Your NOVAG OPAL II has 64 skill levels. To set the computer to any of these 
playing levels, press the key marked LEVEL and you will see the current  level 
setting indicated by the two corresponding rank and file LEDs. If this is not the level 
that you wish to use, please press the corresponding chess board square. 
 
For example, if you wish to set level 12 (= Fixed Time Level B4), press square B4 
and again this will be indicated by the corresponding rank and file LEDs. (Please 
see board below for reference). 
 
Once you have set the desired level, press GO to exit this mode. Now you may enter 
your first move.
