(+ and -) matches the diagrams in the battery

Special Care
• Avoid rough handling such as bumping or

Excalibur Electronics reserves the right to
make technical changes without notice in the
interest of progress.
Computers can sometimes "lock
up" due to static discharge or
other electrical disturbances. If
this should happen, use a slim,
pointed object to press the but-
ton marked “RESET.”
3. A Pawn can be promoted if it advances
all the way to the far side of the board. It
is immediately promoted, as part of the
same move, into a Queen, Rook, Bishop,
or Knight, whichever its owner chooses.
Since a Queen is the most powerful piece,
it is nearly always chosen as the promo-
tion piece. Through the promotion
process, there may be more than one
Queen on the board at the same time.
Some Tips on Chess
1. Castle your King into safety as soon as
possible.
2. If you control the center squares you
will achieve an advantage. To do this
move your center Pawns and develop
your Bishops and Knights early in the
game.
3. Take advantage of capture situations,
particulary if you will gain material.
