shows the capture square, along with the piece and color symbols for the captured piece. Put the indicated piece back on the board to com- plete the take-back.

The TAKE BACK feature also offers some “express” options which allow you to go back and forth in your game rapidly, without having to take back or replay each individual move. This can come in very handy, for example, if you want to go back to an earlier position in a game and play on from there.

See “EXPRESS TAKE-BACK FEATURES” for a chart showing all your options at a glance.

After pressing TAKE BACK, you can do the following:

•Press ENT to jump forward to the final position of a game or back to the initial position in memory (up to 200 individual moves).

•Press TAKE BACK again to jump forward in 10-move steps (or to the final/initial position in memory).

•Press WHITE/< or BLACK/> to jump backward or forward one individual move at a time.

Press CL when you reach your desired position. You can then verify the board and restore the position (as described in Section 6), and resume play.

1.6 Game Over? Why Not Play Again

Whenever you finish a game (or if you give up on your current game), it’s easy to start over again. Reset the Senator Module by pressing ENT and CL together. The NEW GAME sound signifies that the computer is ready for another game of chess. The same playing level will be in effect, but you can change it if you’d like, as explained in Section 3.

IMPORTANT: Pressing ENT and CL together for a NEW GAME clears your current game from the computer’s memory—be careful not to press these keys by mistake!

1.7 Too Easy/Hard? Change the Level

When you first turn your computer on, it’s automatically set to Normal Playing Level 4 (five seconds a move). However, you have 64 different levels to choose from—you’ll want to try them all out! For descriptions of the playing levels and how to change levels, see Section 3.
