Setting Up Special Positions

This is another terrific feature that allows you to solve problems 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 Touch Chess to look at, perhaps using the Infinite Search level.

Normally, it is easier to start from an empty board to set up such problems. So first, press the OPTION key repeatedly until CLRBR (clear board) is displayed. Now press the SETUP key. You’ll see that the display chessboard will have no pieces.
