Playing Mate-In-Problem Games; Using Teaching Modes - Radio Shack E-Chess Owner's Manual

Most moves start with 4 bonus points
but some brilliant moves start with 8
points.
If you don't enter the correct great

error beep and the bonus points you
have accumulated reduce by half. If
you lose all your bonus points, the
computer shows the correct move.

USING TEACHING MODES

Your computer has eight built-in
teaching modes that you can use to
help you learn how to checkmate an
opponent's king. Your computer in-
cludes the following teaching modes.
• Kings, pawns
• Kings, pawns, knights
• Kings, pawns, bishops
• Kings, pawns, rooks
• Kings, pawns, queens
• Kings, white bishops
• Kings, white rooks
• Kings, white queen
In the teaching mode, the computer
OPTIONS/
sets up the display to simulate a real
game where both the black and white
or
kings and other pieces are in their
starting positions. This lets you play a
game using only the pieces you set
up, making it easy to see only the
strengths and weaknesses of the
piece you selected without being dis-
to start the
tracted by other pieces.

mode during a game.
