On the Training Levels, the computer's search depth is
limited to a certain number of moves, as shown above. As
you cycle through the levels, the computer displays PLY: #
for each level. A "ply" is an individual move (a move for either
side), and "#" is the number representing the search depth.
For example, on Level G1, the computer searches to a depth
of one ply (PLY: 1), and thus looks ahead only one indi-
vidual move. On this level, therefore, it will often overlook a
mate in one. This produces weaker play, giving beginners a
better chance of beating the computer!

The Self-Adaptive Weak Levels are perfect for players who
are just starting out. Here, beginners have the chance to
interact with the computer on eight weakened levels of
varying ELO rating strengths, and the computer's strength is
adjusted to match that of the player.
On the lowest level (H1), the computer will set its playing
