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!

Ratings

To view your rating, press OPTION until RATE is displayed. Your current rating appears on the display.

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.
