You’ll enjoy owning both your own personal chess trainer and a full-featured chess computer that’s always ready for a game. What’s more, your computer offers you 500 chess problems by The New York Times weekly chess columnist, international grandmaster Robert Byrne. Byrne is a former US chess champion and world championship candidate who was inducted into the US Chess Hall of Fame in Miami in 1994. You’ll learn a lot of chess by working at the puzzles he’s written for you! Install the Batteries If your unit has a pull tab, simply pull the tab. You may discard the tab once it has been pulled out. If there is no pull tab, or to replace batteries, the procedure is as follows: Using a small Phillips screwdriver, remove the battery- compartment panel screws on the back of Electronic Chess. Then remove the panel by pulling gently from the top. Install three fresh AG13 batteries, making sure to follow the diagram near the battery slot so that the polarity (+ or -) of the batteries is correct. The legendary King Arthur brandished a magic sword, Excalibur, from which we take our company name. With this unique weapon in his hands, he could not be vanquished. Although Excalibur Electronics can’t claim the magical secrets of Merlin, King Arthur’s court wizard, sometimes our patented technology may make it seem as if we could. The New York Times Electronic Chess is another unmatched innovation of Excalibur Electronics. We make you think. 2 Layout of The New York Times Electronic Chess ENGLISHENGLISH ENGLISHENGLISH Your NYT Electronic Chess is packed with features! Each key has two labels. To activate the feature named below the key, just press the key. To enjoy the feature given above the key, first press NEXT/2nd and then the key. Play a Game Right Away After you have installed the batteries, the display will show the chess board with all the pieces on their starting squares. The LCD will also show 01CHESS. This indicates you are at the first move of the game and ready to play chess. If it does not display 01CHESS, press RESET using a thin pointed object. Unless you instruct it otherwise, Electronic Chess gives you the White pieces—the ones at the bottom of the board. White always moves first. You’re ready to play! It’s very important to understand that making a move is made up of two parts, choosing a from square and a to square. In the center of the key pad, there are eight DIRECTION keys — right, left, up, down, and the four diagonal directions. 1. Press a DIRECTION key and the White king’s pawn (the pawn in front of the king) will flash on and off. The LCD will also show 01FrOm. To select a different piece to move, press a DIRECTION key— right, left, up, down, or diagonal— until the piece or pawn you want to move flashes on and off. 2. Press the OPTIONS/GO key in the center of the DIRECTION keys. FrOm will disappear. Time will start counting. 3. Press a DIRECTION key to move the piece to the square you want. You’ll see your piece flashing on possible to squares as you move it—at the same time it continues to flash on its from square. Note: Press CLEAR to stop a square from flashing in #1 or #3 above, and start the move entry process over. 4. Press the OPTIONS/GO key again to finalize your move. Electronic Chess will now respond with its move, flashing the move for a few seconds. Enter your next move by repeating the above steps, and have fun! Special Features and Function Keys Your New York Times Electronic Chess partner is packed with valuable special features that can help you learn to play better and better chess—and to have a lot of fun! But there are more special features than there are keys! So each key has two labels, one above and one below. The black label below each key shows the primary function of the key. The blue label above the key shows its secondary function. Below are the features available 4 to you through the primary functions. Remember, to access any of these features, you simply push the proper key, looking at the black label below the key. Primary Key Functions NEXT/2nd KEY This is a special key, so its color is blue. Use this key to select the secondary function mode of the other keys. (See "Secondary Functions," page 6.) During move entry, this key acts as a NEXT piece key. Use the NEXT piece key if you have difficulty getting to the piece you wish to move using the DIRECTION keys. During move entry, press this key repeatedly to scan backwards and select a piece to move. CLEAR/ON KEY Use ...
