Setting up a game
To change the settings on DGT Pi there are two methods:
1.
Using the menu buttons (easy method)
2.
Using the extra black and white queens on the e-Board (fast method)
Both methods have their advantages and are described below.
Game settings using the menu buttons (easy) / extra queens (fast)
The easy method uses the menu buttons at the front of DGT Pi. All menu options can be accessed
and changed by using these buttons. With the easy method it is not necessary to have all chess
pieces in the starting position or to use the extra queens. Just go through the menu by pressing the
menu buttons. For example you can press the middle menu button to force DGT Pi to make a
move. It is possible to change colour by pressing the lever on top of DGT Pi.
Using the extra queens on the e-Board is the fast method to change settings but not all options can
be selected this way. To change settings by using the extra queens, all 32 chess pieces must first be
placed in the starting position. The extra two queens supplied with all DGT electronic chess sets are
used to confirm the settings. Move one of the extra queens over the empty squares of the e-Board
(Remember the other pieces must be in the starting position) and the display will show the setting
option related to that square. The setting will be activated by lifting the extra queen from that
square.
Note: We suggest not switching between engines or change time settings during a running game as
this may lead into unpredictable behaviour. For example in some situations a change in settings
during a game can result in a new game.
