One more press will remove the bars altogether, indicating that the computer will leave all the moves to you while it monitors your moves for legality. Press OPENINGS COACH once again, and the display will indicate that you should move.

While you are playing, you can press PLAY to have the computer remind you of the next move. Every time you make a correct move, the computer will confirm the move with a single ‘beep’. If you are wrong, however, it will sound a double ‘beep’ and prevent the from square from being displayed. Press the correct to square to end the move, or press the from square to cancel it. At the end of the opening sequence, you may continue to play the game if you wish. Note that the clock is not used during this mode, and Non Auto Mode, if selected, is only in effect after the opening moves are finished.

Note that your current Openings Coach selection is retained in memory until another selection is made.

When you want to get back to playing a normal game, simply press NEW GAME, and you will be returned to the standard board.
