ENTERING MOVES
Playing chess against the computer is
like playing with a human opponent
— you make your move, and the
computer responds with its move.
Making a move involves a FROM
square and a TO square. The FROM
square is the current location of the
piece you plan to move; the TO
square is where you are moving the
piece.
Notes:
• On the display,
indicates it
is white's turn to move,
while
indicates it is black's
turn to move.
• You cannot enter a command
before the computer makes its
move.
1. When it is your turn to move,
repeatedly press
NEXT PIECE
or
LAST PIECE
to select the piece
you want to move. The piece
alternately flashes on its FROM
square and one of its legal desti-
nations.
2. If the move that appears is not
the one you want, repeatedly
press
NEXT MOVE
or
LAST MOVE
to select other legal moves for
the piece.
Notes:
• If the next move you make will
capture one of your oppo-
nent’s pieces, press
LAST
MOVE
instead of
NEXT MOVE
to move more quickly.
• To select a different piece after
you pressed
LAST MOVE
or
NEXT MOVE
in this step

cate it is the computer’s turn, and
the game timer counts up while
the computer plans its move.
Notes:

instantly, so you might not see
flash and the game timer
count up.
• If you do not want to wait for
the computer to calculate its
move, you can press
OPTIONS/MOVE
to force the
computer to make a move.
• To select a different move
after you pressed
OPTIONS/
MOVE
in this step, you must
wait for the computer to make
its move, then press
/
UNDO
to take back the com-
puter’s move. Press
/
UNDO
again to take back your
previous move.

mined its move, the piece it

square. The computer displays
