think. This is because it is playing moves which are stored in its
openings library. For details, see Section 2.9.
1.3 The Computer Makes its Move
When the computer moves, it first shows Thinking... briefly.
While the computer considers its move for Black, the display flashes
the symbol for Black (ı), while showing the computer's clock. Once
the actual move is made, the computer will beep and display its move
(e.g., ıPe7-e5), and the piece will briefly flash back and forth on
the from and to squares. After the move has been made on the
board, the display will go back to showing your clock—and it's your
turn again.
1.4 Game Over? Start a New Game
Caution: Resetting the computer clears your current game
from the computer's memory!
Whenever you finish a game (or if you decide to give up on your
current game), it's easy to start over again! Reset the computer by
pressing NEW GAME twice in a row. New Game will be displayed,
signalling that the computer is ready for another game of chess, using
the currently selected playing level.
Special note regarding the Tournament Levels: If you reset for a
new game before a Tournament Level game is over, you'll be asked to
confirm the game's outcome before the computer resets itself. For
details, see Section 2.5.
1.5 Too Easy/Hard? Change Levels!
When the computer is first turned on, it is automatically set to
Playing Level 63, with an average computer response time of five
seconds per move. You can, however, choose from 100 different
levels of play! For descriptions of all the levels, as well as instructions
on how to change the playing levels, see Section 5.
2. MORE FEATURES TO EXPLORE
2.1 Whose Turn? Check the Display!
When the computer thinks for Black, it flashes a Black square (ı).
After the computer moves, the display shows a steady White square
(„), indicating that it's now your turn to move for White.
