Auto Play

If you would like to watch the com- puter finish a game for you auto- matically, press the 2nd key and then press OPTIONS, until the option PLAYr is showing. Use the +NEXT key to change the number of players to zero. Press 2nd to exit the OPTIONS mode. 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.

Book Opening Trainer

Touch Chess makes it easy for you to learn the same openings that world chess champions play. At the beginning of a game, you may choose to learn one of 34 popular book openings—ways to begin the game—used by chess masters. Press 2nd, then OPTIONS, to dis- play OPEn, and then press the +NEXT or -SETUP keys to select the number of the opening you want to learn. Then press the 2nd key to return to normal play.

Now play a move. If your move is not the correct opening move, an error buzz will sound. To learn the correct move press HINT. When the computer comes back with its move, you will briefly see the word OPEn on the screen if you have

another opening move to make. If the word OPEn does not appear, you may continue normal play. You have completed the training for that opening line.
