• Scoring: Each time you solve a Study Position correctly, points
are added to your score. You'll get full points if you solve the
Study Position on the first try. For each incorrect move you make
before finding the correct move, your score will be cut in half. If
you reach zero points at any time, however, your score will
remain there, no matter how many more moves you try.
• To check your current score, press HINT/INFO twice. Note that
the first press will show the last move that was made for the
other side. Pressing CLEAR will cancel the score display.
If you solve a Study Game ending in checkmate, Checkmate!
will remain in the display after a series of congratulatory messages.
At this point, you can (a) reset for a new game, (b) use Info Mode to
document the moves by tracing back through them (as described in
Section 7.4), or (c) take back any of the moves and resume a normal
game from any position. If you solve the last Study Position in a
game, but the game has not actually ended, the display will show
End Game, and the computer will automatically start thinking about
the next move, allowing you to continue the game normally.

Using the Board for Selection

Each Study Position can also be activated individually by pressing
the corresponding board square. As shown in the Study Mode Chart,
each of the 64 squares represents one Study Position. Enter Study
Mode by pressing MENU and ¯ (or ˘) until ¿STUDY is displayed,
and then pressing ENTER. Next, refer to the chart and press one of
the board squares to select that Study Position. Press ENTER, and
the display will confirm with Start Study?. Press ENTER again,
and the Study Game will start, as described previously.
