/nYESu KEY (contrast)

Press this key and then the tNO or YESu key to adjust the display contrast to one

of six settings. This allows you to compensate for differences in lighting and viewing

position. Also use this key in SETUP mode to change the color to move.

Use this key to increase a setting or to answer a question like “Are you SURE?”.

HINT / WHY KEY

Press this key if you want to get a hint from The Phantom Force. It displays HINT

and then a recommended move on the display. If the hint is a book move or a replay

move, OPEN or RPLAY will be shown instead of HINT. Also use this key when the

threat warning: !PLAY is displayed to find out why the warning is on.

repeatedly to continue undoing moves. After you undo a move, you can use the

MOVE key to replay the undone move or moves.

When it is your move, press this key to switch sides (colors) with The Phantom

Force. While The Phantom Force is thinking, press the MOVE key to force The

Phantom Force to stop Thinking. Also use MOVE to replay moves in the undo move

mode (see “UNDO,” above).

SETUP KEY

Press this key to set up special positions (see page 9). You can also use this key to

promote a Pawn that reaches your opponent’s back rank to a piece other than a

Queen. (The promotion to a Queen is the most common, so it is automatic.)

the level. Press the LEVEL key repeatedly to change the level type

(for more information, see “Levels of Play,” page 11).
