To begin a new game, press the NEW button. The display asks: ‘Sure?’. Press ENT to confirm, or to

cancel and return to the current game, press CL.

3.5 Tips (HINT)

If you would like to receive a tip from the computer, simply press HINT. ChessGenius Pro’s

You are free to decide whether to follow the computer’s suggestion or not.

3.6 Undoing or redoing moves ( / )

If you would like to undo your last move, press the  button. The display announces that the

respective flashing squares must be pressed. If the last move involved a piece being captured, then it

must of course be placed back on the board and the relevant square pressed.

If desired, this process can be repeated as often as you wish, so as to redo a whole range of chess

moves. When you have finished, the game can continue as normal, or you can press MOVE to

prompt the computer to make its move.

You can also redo undone moves by pressing the  button. Also in this case, you should press the

appropriate fields and set the chess pieces down on the relevant squares.

In most situations, pressing the HELP button shows a message on the display, which tells you what

you can do next. Press the CL button to dismiss the message from the screen.

If it is your turn to make a move and you press HELP, one or more chess pieces on the LCD

chessboard begin to ‘flash’. Permissible moves can be made with the highlighted pieces.
