To view your rating, press OPTION until
RATE
is displayed. Your current rating
appears on the display.
To have your rating change, you must
complete a rated game on a tournament
or sudden death level.
When you are ready to play a rated game,
select the
RATE
option.
1. Press the OPTION key repeatedly until
you see
RATE
appear.
2. Press the YES and the NO key to turn
the option On.
3. Press CLEAR.
Finally select the Tournament Level or
Sudden Death Level you wish to play
against.
When an ‘O’ appears on the display, the
game you are playing can be rated. Since
the game you are playing is rated, you
cannot ask for a HINT, nor UNDO a bad
move, nor use SETUP to improve your
position. You also cannot use the NEW
GAME key to start over during a rated
game.
These conditions attempt to allow you to
experience what it is like to play a game
against an opponent in a rated tourna-
ment. In rated tournaments a chess clock
is always used, so that you play your
moves within agreed upon time limits.
Touch chess has the chess clock built in
to it.
If you attempt to use the HINT, SETUP,
UNDO, or NEW GAME keys during
your rated game, Touch Chess will ask
"ARE YOU SURE", and say what result
(draw, win, or loss) will be scored if you
press the YES key.
During a rated game if you are winning
by 9.0 or more points and want Touch
chess to resign, press NEW GAME.
Touch chess will say "ARE YOU SURE I
LOSE". Touch Chess will then wait for
you to press YES.
Using Setup Mode
At any time during a game when it is your
move, you may change the position on
the board by adding a piece, removing a
piece, or changing any of the pieces—for
example, from a queen to a knight.
Removing A Piece
Press the SETUP key. Then repeatedly
press the square of the piece you wish to
remove until the square on the display is
empty. Press CLEAR to continue the
game.
The other four mini-games use kings and
pawns, but add a different single piece to
the exercise-knight, bishop, rook, and
then queen.
Start with the basic king and pawns mini-
game.
Make your first move. Your object, as in
regular chess, is to checkmate the king.
Normally, this means both sides will try
to force a pawn through to the other side
of the board safely to promote it to a
queen. You'll learn lots of principles,
tricks, and traps in this training mode that
will win you many full-fledged chess
games!
