When youSpecialcastleMovesyour king on the DOCKER, LCD Chess will remind you to move your rook by display- ing the from and to squares. Move the rook in the routine manner, pressing on its from square and then its to square. When LCD Chess cas- tles, it will also remind you to move its rook.

For an en passant cature, press the from and to squares of the cap- turing pawn. The square of the pawn being captured will then appear on the display. This is to remind you to remove the captured pawn. You must press down on the captured pawn before removing it from the board.

When the move is a capture, LCD Chess will also then signal the capture square. Refer to the chess board on the LCD screen for the proper piece to press on the capture square.

If you attempt an illegal move on the DOCKER, you must follow the standard procedure of undoing the illegal move by pushing on the to square and then the from square.

Interrupting a Game

If you are in the middle of a game using the DOCKER, but want to continue the game with only the LCD Chess, just turn off LCD Chess when it is your move. Disconnect LCD Chess from the DOCKER, and turn on LCD Chess. You may now continue your game using the DIRECTION keys to enter your moves.

You may also finish the game on the DOCKER by turning the LCD Chess off, and inserting it into the DOCKER. Turn on LCD Chess and arrange the pieces on the DOCKER chess board to match the chess pieces on the LCD Chess screen.

Note: Do not take-back a move on the LCD Chess until you have made a move on LCD Chess using the DIRECTION keys. Entering your move on LCD Chess tells LCD Chess that you are no longer using the DOCKER.
