If the White pieces were at the top of the board, when you press tNO, The Phantom
Force will show 01SWAP? to see if your want it to move the White pieces back to the
bottom of the chessboard.
Castling
Remember, you must always move the King first when castling! First press your King
down on its FROM square (if castling, E1). Then move and press your King down
on its TO square (if castling King side, G1). The Phantom Force recognizes castling
maneuvers after the King is moved two squares. It then reminds you to complete
castling by moving the Rook. Move the Rook in the routine manner, pushing on its
FROM and TO squares normally.
En Passant - Taking a Pawn in passing
For an en passant capture, after pressing the normal FROM and TO squares of
the capturing Pawn, the display will show SIDE. The Phantom Force will now wait
for you to place its captured Pawn on the correct color oval along the side of the
chessboard. Press down on the center of the oval to tell The Phantom Force where
you have placed the piece.
Promoting Pawns
When your Pawn reaches the other end of the board, The Phantom Force will
automatically promote your Pawn to a Queen, since this is the best choice in nearly
every case. If you have a captured Queen in the captured piece area, you may swap
it with the promoted Pawn.
When The Phantom Force pushes a Pawn to your back row, it will always promote
to a Queen. If it has a captured Queen in the captured piece area, you may swap it
with the promoted Pawn.
Putting a Game “On Hold”
Any time it’s your move and you wish to stop playing for a while, just press the
SLEEP key. The Phantom Force will switch off and go into a sleep mode. It will
remember the last position, including the elapsed time, as long as you do not
interrupt the power supply—for example, by removing the batteries. To resume
play, press the WAKE/CLEAR key.
