XIII. CHANGING COLOUR
If you press MOVE, the computer will play your turn. So if you want to swap
colours with the computer, press MOVE. The computer will make its move and
then wait until you take your turn.
If you press MOVE again, the computer will move again, so you can make the
computer play alone, against itself.
If you want to play the whole game as Black:
1. Press NEW GAME and place the white pieces at the top of the
chessboard and the black ones at the bottom. Remember that the White
Queen always starts on a white square and the Black Queen on a black
square.
2. Then press MOVE to start the game. The computer will move a white
piece at the top of the chessboard and will wait for you to move with the
black pieces at the bottom.
XIV. CANCELLING MOVES
If you press the square from which you want to move a piece, but you decide
in the end that you want to make a different move, press the square again. The
lights indicating the coordinates of the square will come on and you can make
another move.
If you have made your move and the computer is thinking, or has already
illuminated the coordinates of the square it’s going to move from:
1. Press TAKE BACK.
2. The computer will then interrupt it’s thinking and illuminate the lights of
the square you last moved to. Press the square and pick up the piece.
3. The computer will then indicate the coordinates of the square you moved
from. Press this square and put the piece back on it.
4. If you want to cancel a capture or a capture en passant, the computer
will remind you to reinstate the captured piece on the chessboard by
