displays again. Press CLEAR to return to the normal clock

display.

The clocks stop whenever you take back a move, or set up

a new position. However, the times are retained in memory,

and the clocks resume as soon as play is continued. When-

ever you change levels or press NEW GAME, the chess

clocks are always reset.

opposite direction, from King to pawn.

4.5 Want a Hint? Just Ask!

In case you missed this feature when it was mentioned in

Section 4.1, we wanted to point it out again—if you ever need

advice on a move, you can always ask the computer for a

hint. Simply press INFO when it’s your turn to move, and the

computer will show a suggested move for your side!

5. OPTIONS FOR FUN AND VARIETY

In addition to all the features you’ve learned about so far,

your chess computer also offers many other exciting game

options! All of these options are user-selectable at any time

during a game. They are described individually in this sec-

tion, and summarized in the Option Mode Chart.

Selecting Game Options

There are two methods of setting options, as described

below—by using the game keys or pressing board squares.

See “THE BASICS OF OPTION MODE: HERE’S

HOW!” for a chart summarizing how to use Option

Mode, and an overview of all the options.

The Game Options are divided into four groups:

Operation

Mode, Playing Mode, Rotating Display Mode,

and

Bronstein

Clock Options.

Pressing OPTION cycles from one group to

another, and each group contains a different set of options.

• For Operation Mode, Playing Mode, and Rotating

Display Mode options,

the BLACK/> and </WHITE

keys are used to cycle through the options within each

group. For each option, a plus (+) in the display indicates

the option is ON, and a minus (–) means the option is

OFF. Press ENTER to turn each option on or off as it is

displayed.

• For Bronstein Clock Options,

press ENTER to cycle

through the different clock options. The clock option you

choose to display will be the selected time control when

you exit Option Mode. If you decide not to activate the

Bronstein Clock after all, simply press ENTER repeatedly

until the display once again shows -bron. (see Section

5.4).

After you have made all your option selections from any or

all of the option groups, press CLEAR to return to normal

game play.

Another method of selecting game options is by pressing

the option squares.

As shown in the Options Chart, Squares

A1-H1, A2-H2, A3-H3, and A4 can be used to turn options on

and off. First, press OPTION to enter Option Mode; then

press a square to access an option, using the chart as a

guide.

• For Operation Mode, Playing Mode, and Rotating

Display Mode options,

pressing the square repeatedly

turns that option on and off, with plus (+) for ON and

minus (–) for OFF.

• For Bronstein Clock Options,

pressing Square A4

repeatedly selects your desired clock setting.

Once you have made all your selections, press CLEAR to

return to your game.

When the computer is first powered on, certain default

options are set. Options which are automatically in effect at

the first startup are shown in the chart with a plus; options

which are off are shown with a minus. When you reset for a

new game, most of your selected options are carried over to

your next game. Some exceptions are Auto Answer, which is

automatically set back to ON when you start a new game,

and Play White from the Top, which is set back to OFF.

5.1 Operation Mode Options (Squares A1-H1)

Press OPTION once to select the Operation Mode

Options. Then use the BLACK/> and </WHITE keys to

select options within this group, and press ENTER to turn

options on (+) or off (–). Or, simply press the option squares

to turn options on or off.

a. Auto Answer Mode (Square A1)

On:+Auto Off:-Auto

Normally, the computer automatically answers with a

countermove whenever you enter a move. If you turn Auto

Answer off, however, you can enter any number of moves

one by one, without allowing the computer to answer. You’ll

see that there are many great ways to use this feature!

• Play through master games. Press ENTER to see what

the computer would do in any position!

• Keep records of your own chess games. When a game is

over, play to any position to see how other moves or

different strategies might have affected the outcome.

• Study opening lines by entering them manually!

• Play against a friend, with the computer acting as referee.

It will monitor your game, checking all moves for legality

and keeping track of time for both sides!

When playing against another person, if either side should

need help, press INFO to see a suggested move. To see

what the computer would do in a certain position, press

ENTER and the computer will make the next move. After it

has made its move, Auto Answer remains off, and you may

continue your game.

Note that this option will automatically go back to its default

setting of ON whenever you press NEW GAME.

b. Sound with Keypress (Square B1)

On:+SNd Off:-SNd

This option lets you turn off the sound that accompanies

each keypress. You will still hear beeps when the computer

positioned differently, and

reversed.
