2.13 Game Memory
You may interrupt a game at any time by switching to STOP to turn
the computer off. Play is suspended, and the computer will “remember”
your position for up to two years (with fresh alkaline batteries). When
you switch on again, continue where you left off! To conserve batteries,
switch off when you interrupt a game for more than a few minutes.
3. LEVELS OF SKILL
With 384 level settings to choose from (incorporating the Teach
Modes), you can learn and grow with this chess computer! As shown
on the Chart of Playing Levels, there are 64 unique playing levels—
including levels for casual play, mate finder and combination finder
levels, aggressive and quiet closed levels, and several different types
of levels meant especially for beginners! When you set the level, keep
in mind that when the computer has more time to think about its
moves, it gets stronger and plays better—just like a human chess
player!
See the “CHART OF PLAYING LEVELS” to get an overview of
all the levels at a glance. We’ve also included level selection tips!
Selecting a Playing Level
Press LEVEL, and the computer lights the board square corre-
sponding to the currently set level. When the computer is first turned
on, it is set on Level H4 (ten seconds per move). As indicated in the
chart, each of the 64 board squares corresponds to one playing level.
After pressing LEVEL, press a square to activate a level, using the
chart as a guide. When you press down on the desired square, the
board lights will indicate that square. Press LEVEL to exit Level Mode.
See “HERE’S HOW TO SET A LEVEL!” for a step-by-step look
at setting a specific level,
For levels indicating Average Response Times, note that the times
are averaged over a large number of moves. In the opening and
endgame, the computer tends to play faster, but in complicated middle-
game positions, it may take longer to move.
