The Phantom Force’s Move
You’ll notice that The Phantom Force almost immediately displays its response to
your move. The Phantom Force decides on its own move, of course, and lets you
know what it is on the display. For example, if you play 1. E2-E4, it may respond E7-E5.
As if by magic, The Phantom Force will move its own piece. If it cannot move its piece
directly to its TO square, it will first move the piece blocking its path, and restore the
blocking piece back to its square. You’re already playing a game! Enjoy the contest.
Capturing a Phantom Force Piece
When you capture a Phantom Force piece, the display will show SIDE. The Phantom
Force will now wait for you to place its captured piece 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.
