forth between a book and a chessboard. But with your King Arthur’s special training feature, you’ll find yourself learning the openings extremely quickly, sav- ing yourself many hours—and having fun while you learn! Use this training mode as often as you wish—keep improving your knowledge of opening play!

At the beginning of a game, you may choose to learn one of 34 popular book openings. Press MODE until “OP En” is dis- played. Then press > until the number of the opening (see list below) you want to learn or review is displayed in the upper left of the display. (You can use

<to “loop” backward in the list. For example, if you want to select opening 30, it’s faster to use the < key.)

Now play a move. If your

move is not correct, an error buzz will sound and the move will NOT be made. You can take another guess, or learn the cor- rect move by pressing HINT. When the computer comes back with its move, you will briefly see the word “OP En” on the screen if you have another opening move to make. If “OP En” does not appear, you may continue normal play or go on to another opening. You have com- pleted the training for that open- ing line.

Below are the numbers and names of openings that you can study with King Arthur’s Book Opening Trainer.
