the base of the unit. Insert
three "AA" (Type AM3/R6)
batteries, making sure that
you observe the correct
polarity. Then, replace the
battery cover.

the computer on. If the

it as noted in Section 7.1.

Enter moves by making
them on the board,
pressing the chess pieces
down gently on the from
and to squares for each
move.
6
As soon as the computer
makes a move, its move
is shown in the display
window. You'll see the
piece, along with the
piece color and the from and to squares of the
computer's move. In this example, the computer wants to
move its Black pawn from E7 to E5. Press the computer's
pawn down on Square E7, and then press it on Square
E5. This completes the computer's move, and now it's
your turn again. Make your next move as described
above. Enjoy your game!
You can press GO/STOP at any time to turn the computer
off. Your current position and game (up to 30 individual
moves) will be stored in the computer's memory. When
you switch back on again, you can continue playing right
where you left off.
