Example

 

 

The chess clocks show how much thinking time you have used, but they have no other purpose. You can think for as long as you like.

 

Enter your moves on the graphic chess board.

 

During the game the following functions are available by using the function buttons on the toolbar.

 

Functions

 

 Abort                -        This ends the current game immediately.

 

 Resign                -        This gives up the game.

 

 Offer Draw        -        You can offer the program a draw.

 

 J`adoube        -        This takes back the last played move.

 

 Hint                -        The program makes a suggestion for your next move, also showing threats and plans, if you wish.

 

 Suggestion        -        This displays an arrow for a suggestion.

 

 

Beneath the chess board there is a small warning light. When this light is green the game is running peacefully.

 

Example

 

 

If the light blinks it means that in this position the player has a tactical opportunity.

 

This is in contrast to the serious rated games, in which no help is allowed. This is a useful tip. If you make a move which isn’t what the program expected, the program inserts it into the game notation, and when you replay the game the critical position is used as a training question.
