97 .................... Mate in 7 moves ..................... < Mate in 7 >
98 .................... Mate in 8 moves ..................... < Mate in 8 >
Selecting one of these levels activates a special mate finder
program. If you have a position where there may be a mate and you
would like the computer to find it, set the computer on one of the
Problem Solving Levels. Your computer can solve mates in up to eight
moves. Mates in one to five are usually found quite quickly, whereas
solutions taking six to eight moves may take quite some time. If there
is no mate present or the computer cannot find a mate, it will briefly
display No move found!. You may continue to play, if desired, by
switching to another level.
5.6 Tactical Level
Level
99 ............ Tactical Play (no time limit) ............. < Tactical >
On the Tactical Level, the computer's goal is to find the best tactical
sequence more quickly than it would on a normal playing level. The
computer will search indefinitely until it finds a win of two pawns or
more, or until you stop the search by pressing ENTER. The Tactical
Level is great for experimentation, since it lets the computer concen-
trate fully on special tactical positions!
5.7 Infinite Level
Level
100 ................ Infinite (no time limit) .................. < Infinite >
On the Infinite Level, the computer searches indefinitely until it
finds a forced mate, or until you stop the search by pressing ENTER.
If the search is halted, the computer makes the move it currently
thinks is best. Try experimenting with this level—set up special board
positions and let the computer analyze them for you! It will think for
hours and even days on end, trying to find the best possible move.
