4.11 Automove Mode

Options: automove: on / off

Normally, when the computer makes a move, it briefly flashes its piece on the from and to squares, and then automatically makes the move on the board. If you change to automove: off, however, the computer will announce its moves as usual—but it will be up to you to move the computer’s pieces on the board. After the computer has announced its move, it will flash its piece on the from square. Press the flashing piece, and it will then move to the to square. Press the to square to complete the computer’s move.
