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.

(the symbol for Black). After the computer has moved, a white square is
displayed steadily to show that it is now White's turn to move. You can
tell at a glance if the computer is currently thinking, and which side is to
move.
