XII. MULTI MOVE MODE
Level 0 is a MULTI MOVE level. In this mode, the computer does not play. You can play with two players. You can use this function to play a specific
opening or to re-play a game. You can also use the computer chessboard as a normal chessboard and play against another person. In this case the com-
puter plays the role of referee and verifies that the moves are allowed.
To select MULTI MOVE mode:
1. Select level 0 by pressing the LEVEL button, then squares B8, D8, F8 or H8, and then press the LEVEL button once again.
2. Play as many moves as you want for the two players.
3. When you’ve finished, leave the MULTIMOVE mode by pressing the LEVEL button once again and selecting another level.
XIII. CHANGING COLOURS
If you press the MOVE button, the computer will play your move. On the other hand, if you want to change colours with the computer, press MOVE. The
computer will play its move and then it waits until your have made your move.
If you press the MOVE button once again, the computer will play another move; this lets you have the computer play on its own against itself.
If you want to play the entire game with White at the top of the board:
1. Press the NEW GAME button and place the white chess-men at the top of the chessboard and the black chess-men at the bottom of the
board. Make sure the white Queen is on a white square and the black Queen is on a black square.
2. Next, press MOVE at the beginning of the game. The computer will play with White at the top of the chessboard and waits until you have
played with Black at the bottom of the board.
XIV. CANCELLING MOVES
If you press the start square with a chess-man with the intention of moving but then decide you want to move another chess-man, press the same squa-
re once again. The square’s indicator no longer lights up and you can make another move.
If you have already made your move and the computer is busy thinking, or has already lit up the co-ordinates of the start square for its move:
1. Press the TAKE BACK button.
2. The computer interrupts its thinking process and lights up the indicator of the destination square of your last move and then lights up the
squares to indicate the previous move of the chess-man in question. Press the square and take the chess-man.
3. The computer then indicates the start square. Press this square and place the chess-man here.
4. If you want to cancel a capture or a capture en passant, the computer reminds you to put the captured chess-man back on the chessboard,
indicating the square where the chess-man in question was positioned. Press this square and put the chess-man back on the board.
5. If you cancel a castling move, you first have to move your King, then your Rook and press the squares of each of these.
6. If you cancel the promotion of a pawn, do not forget to exchange your Queen for a pawn.
If you want to cancel your move but you have already performed the computer’s reply, press the TAKE BACK button and cancel the computer’s move
by following the procedure described above. Then press the TAKE BACK button once again to cancel your own move.
If you have already pressed the start square for the computer’s move and the computer already indicates the destination square, you must first carry
out the computer’s move; then, press the TAKE BACK button once to cancel the computer’s move and then press the button once again to cancel your
own move.
If you want to cancel two moves, press the TAKE BACK button a third time to cancel the preceding move by the computer. Next, press the TAKE BACK
button a fourth time to cancel your preceding move. If you try to cancel more moves, the computer will make an error sound. If you want to cancel
more than two moves, you must use the SET UP option to change the position (see paragraph XIX).
