It is now your move.
Letting Electronic Chess
Go First
After you make your move on the
DOCKER, Electronic Chess knows
you are connected to the DOCKER.
It then will wait for you to press its
from and to squares when it moves.
But when you want Electronic
Chess to go first and play the white
pieces at the top of the board, you
simply press the GO key on
Electronic Chess. Electronic Chess
does not know you are using the
DOCKER, so it assumes that you
are not. Therefore it simply moves
its piece on the Electronic Chess
board, and assumes you will make
its opening move on the DOCKER
chess board without pressing on its
from and to squares.
Special Moves
When you castle your king on the
DOCKER, Electronic Chess will
remind you to move your rook by
displaying the
from and to squares.
Move the rook in the routine man-
ner, pressing on its
from square and
then its
to square. When Electronic
Chess castles, it will also remind
you to move its rook.
For an
en passant cature, press
the
from and to squares of the cap-
turing pawn. The square of the
pawn being captured will then
appear on the display. This is to
remind you to remove the captured
pawn. You must press down on the
captured pawn before removing it
from the board.
When you undo a move on the
DOCKER, you must follow the
standard procedure of pushing on
the
to square and then the from
square. When the move is a capture,
Electronic Chess will also then sig-
nal the capture square. Refer to the
chess board on the LCD screen for
the proper piece to press on the cap-
ture square.
If you attempt an illegal move on
the DOCKER, you must follow the
standard procedure of undoing the
illegal move by pushing on the
to
square and then the from square.
Interrupting a Game
If you are in the middle of a game
using the DOCKER, but want to
continue the game with only the

Electronic Chess, just turn off
Electronic Chess when it is your
move. Disconnect Electronic Chess
from the DOCKER, and turn on
Electronic Chess. You may now
continue your game using the
DIRECTION keys to enter your
moves.
You may also finish the game on
the DOCKER by turning the
Electronic Chess off, and inserting
it into the DOCKER. Turn on LCD
Chess and arrange the pieces on the
DOCKER chess board to match the
chess pieces on the Electronic
Chess screen.
Note: Do not take-back a move
on the Electronic Chess until you
have made a move on Electronic
Chess using the DIRECTION keys.
Entering your move on Electronic
Chess tells Electronic Chess that
you are no longer using the
DOCKER.
Playing without Pieces
You can play without the three-
dimesional pieces, viewing only the
display. Press the 2nd key, then
repeatedly press the OPTIONS key
until TOUCH is shown. Use the +1
key to turn this option on or off.
With this option on, Electronic
Chess will just signal its move on
the screen, you will not have to reg-
ister its move on the DOCKER. In
this mode, the large playing board
acts as a touch screen so that you
can input your moves by pressing
from and to squares with your fin-
ger.
Position Setup
Position setup is faster when the
DOCKER chess board is used.
Follow the procedure on page 15,
but instead of using the DIREC-
TION keys to move to the square
you wish to change, simply press
the square. If you are removing a
piece, that is all you need to do. If
