Using the three techniques above, you can easily relocate a piece by chossing its square, making it blank, and then choos- ing another square and setting up the piece once again.

This is another terrific feature that allows you to solve prob- lems that you see in magazines or newspapers, or that you make up yourself. It also allows you to enter game positions you want to play, or that you want King Arthur to look at, perhaps using his Infinite Search level (see Chapter 7).

Normally, it is easier to start from an empty board to set up such problems. So first, press until “CLr Br” (clear board)OPTION is displayed. Then press

Then press the square on which the other king should stand; press it until the king is the cor- rect color. (You won’t be permit-

Next, pick out another piece in the problem or position you want to set up, and press the appropriate piece key to the left of the display. Then press the square on the sensory board where this piece should stand. Press the square until the piece
