INTRODUCTION
Congratulations on your purchase of the LEXIBOOK Chessman Light chess computer.
The game includes:
• a “TRAINING” mode which indicates when you make a good move.
• 64 difficulty levels spread over 4 different playing styles (normal, aggressive, defensive and high-risk), including:
5 beginners levels for children and beginning players whereby the computer sacrifices chess-men deliberately.
8 normal playing levels for beginning and experienced players with response times ranging from 5 seconds to several hours.
1 analysis level which analyses the position during up to 24 hours.
1 “MATE” level which is designed to resolve checkmate problems for checkmating in up to 5 moves.
1 “MULTI MOVE” level which allows two players to play each other while the computer plays the role of referee.
• an electronic chessboard which automatically keeps track of your moves when you press the start square and the destination square of your move.
• an indicator for each square which represents your moves and those of the computer.
• a “HINT” function which enables you to ask the computer to suggest your next move.
• a “TAKE BACK” function which allows you to go back maximum two full moves (or four half moves).
• a “MOVE” function which allows you to learn by watching the computer play against itself.
• a “SET UP” function for programming the positions in view of resolving a problem or exercise from the manual.
• a library containing 20 different openings.
In addition, it:
• detects stalemate, a draw according to the rule of 50 moves and a draw by repetition.
• recognises checkmating the King with the Queen and the King, checkmating the King with the King and the Rook, and
checkmating the King with the King and the Bishop.
• thinks while it’s the other player’s move.
