Touch Chess will recognize what's been
played. Think of communicating your
move as a two-step process--registering
the FROM square and then registering the
TO square.
Press the stylus down gently on the cen-
ter of its FROM square. Touch Chess will
say and display the coordinates of the
FROM square-for example "E2." Then
press the stylus down gently on the
square you want to move it to - for exam-
ple, "E4." Touch Chess will say the TO
square, confirming that she has registered
your move.
You'll notice that Touch Chess almost
immediately displays her response to
your move. Touch Chess decides on her
own move, of course, and lets you know
what it is on the display. For example, if
you play 1. E2-E4, she may respond E7-
E5. You're already playing a game! Enjoy
the contest.
Putting a game “on hold”
Any time it's your move and you wish to
stop playing for a while, just press the
ON/OFF key. Touch Chess will switch
off and go into a sleep mode. She will
remember the last position, including the
elapsed time, as long as you do not inter-
rupt the power supply-for example, by
removing the batteries. To resume play,
just press the ON/OFF key.
NOTE: If she is not "thinking," Touch
Chess will automatically turn off after a
period of time, saving your game posi-
tion. Use the ON/OFF key to resume the
game.
