settings. This allows you to compensate

Moving Chess Wizard’s
Piece
You'll notice that Chess Wizard almost
immediately displays his response to
your move. Chess Wizard decides on his
own move, of course, and lets you know
what it is on the display below the LCD
board. For example, if you play 1. E2-E4,
he may respond E7-E5. But you need to
move the piece on the board for him.
Follow the same two-step procedure you
did while registering your own move-
gently pushing on the FROM and TO
squares. You're already playing a game!
Enjoy the contest.
After pressing a FROM square,
press the FROM square again to
select a different FROM square.

Putting a game “on hold”
Any time it's your move and you wish to
stop playing for a while, just press the
OFF key. Chess Wizard will switch off
and go into a sleep mode. He will remem-
ber the last position, including the
elapsed time, as long as you do not inter-
rupt the power supply-for example, by
removing the batteries. To resume play,
just press the ON/CLEAR key.
