If your board is connected to a PC you can follow the game on your computer screen, if not you can execute the moves for the computer and follow it on your chessboard. To exit this mode whilst the computer is still executing opening moves (the LCD will only display the move it makes), set the chess pieces up in the opening position. But please bear in mind that this will cancel the current game. Once the game is more advanced and is out of the opening book (the LCD shows its thought process during each move now) you can enter GO (lift your King off the board briefly) to exit the AUTOPLAY / DEMO mode. The move currently being calculated must be executed before the computer exits this mode. To do that lift your black King off the board briefly, the computer will then indicate its first move for White via the LEDs and the LCD. Change Colour (during a game) The Change Colour function can be entered at any time during a game and the colour to move will be reversed. Any moves made prior to entering this function will be erased and the game history will begin with this position.

To enter the Change Colour function, press the Menu button on the right side of the chessboard and tap square H8. Now the computer knows you have entered the Change Colour function.

SQUARE A7 : SET UP This mode is designed to enable you to set up board positions to solve chess problems or to set handicaps by removing or entering a piece, as well as changing the positions of pieces. In SET UP mode the computer's legality check as to the movement of pieces is disabled and you can enter, remove or change positions of any piece. [. . . ] The captured piece must be immediately removed from the chessboard by the player making the capture. When one player moves a piece into a position whereby he can attack the King, the King is in "Check" (announced by the CHECK LED and on the LCD display) and must either a) move the King, b) block the path of the attacking piece with another piece, c) or attack the attacking piece. The game is over when there is no escape for the King from an attacking piece. This is known as "Checkmate" (the CHECK and MATE LED and on the LCD display). [. . . ]
