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.
5. LEVEL MODE: CHOOSE FROM 100 LEVELS!
Your chess computer has 100 unique playing levels to choose
from! The levels are divided into two basic groups:
• FUN LEVELS (1-60): These levels offer beginners and average
players a chance to build their chess skills. On many of the Fun
Levels, you’ll see the computer make mistakes on purpose—just
so you can learn from it!
• COMPETITION LEVELS (61-100): These levels are geared
towards intermediate and more advanced players. Included are
levels for casual and tournament play, problem solving, speed
chess, and even special levels for experimentation. As you are
selecting levels, keep in mind that when the computer has more
time to think about its moves, it becomes stronger and plays
better—just like a human chess player!
