WHERE.

If you do not want to be warned of threats, press OPTION repeatedly until COACH is displayed. Press NO until OFF appears and finally press CLEAR to continue play.

Special Situations

Starting Play with the Black Pieces

When you want to play the Black pieces (to let Touch Chess move first) press the MOVE key before you make your first move as White. You’ll see the White and Black pieces switch places immediately!

Castling

Remember, you must always move the King first when castling! First press your king down on its FROM square (if castling, E1). Then move and press your king down on its TO square (if castling kingside, G1). Touch Chess recognizes castling maneuvers after the king is moved two squares.

Promoting Pawns

When your pawn reaches the other end of the board, Touch Chess will automatical- ly promote the pawn to a queen, since this is the best choice in nearly every case. In the unlikely event you want to promote your pawn to a piece other than a queen, takeback Touch Chess’s move, next use Touch Chess's SET UP feature to change your queen to your promoted piece, then press MOVE.

When Touch Chess pushes a pawn to your back row, it will always promote to a queen.

Auto Play

If you would like to watch Touch Chess finish a game for you automatically, press the PLAYER key repeatedly to set the number of players to zero. Now press the MOVE key and watch the game play itself. You may stop auto play at any time by pressing the MOVE key. Doing so will set the number of players back to one.

Touch Chess has six level types. Two of the level types (PLY and MATE) are for analysis. The other four level types are for play.
