IV. THE COMPUTER’S MOVES
At the beginning of the game, the computer will immediately indicate its move

When the computer makes its move, it will play a specific tune.
1. Two green lights will illuminate indicating the row and column of the
square whose piece the computer wants to move. Press lightly on this
square and take the piece.
2. Next, the lights show the coordinates of the square the piece is moving to.
Place the piece on this square by pressing lightly. The light will illuminate
again showing that it’s now your turn.
