• coach: intermediate : In this case, the computer gives
the amount of assistance it deems appropriate for players who
can see the most obvious points, but who also need to be made
aware of others.
• coach: advanced : This setting will give warnings and
advice whenever the computer feels they’re necessary, such as
when you commit a blunder or if a piece is in jeopardy.
When Coach Mode is activated, the computer will sound intermit-
tent beeps during your turn as White, as a reminder that it’s waiting
for you to make a move.
4.8 Sound On/Off
Options: sound: on / off
Selecting one of these sound settings gives you the option of
playing chess with or without sound effects.
4.9 LCD Contrast
Options: contrast: 1 / 2 / 3 / 4 / 5
This option allows you to adjust the contrast of the LCD display,
with 1 being the lightest, and 5 the darkest. If you find that the default

pressing ENTER repeatedly, until your desired setting is displayed.
4.10 LCD Speed
Options: LCD speed: 1 / 2 / 3 / 4
You can control the scrolling speed of the LCD display by setting
this option, with 1 being the slowest, and 4 the fastest. If you find that
the default setting of 2 is too slow or too fast to read comfortably, you

setting is displayed.
4.11 Automove Mode
Options: automove: on / off
Normally, when the computer makes a move, it briefly flashes its
piece on the from and to squares, and then automatically makes the
move on the board. If you change to
automove: off , however,
the computer will announce its moves as usual—but it will be up to
you to move the computer’s pieces on the board. After the computer
has announced its move, it will flash its piece on the from square.
Press the flashing piece, and it will then move to the to square. Press
the to square to complete the computer’s move.
