Recording A Move; Moves By The Computer; Captures En Passant - LEXIBOOK ChessMan Elite Mode D'emploi

V RECORDING A MOVE
To record a move:
1. Lightly press the square of the chess man you want to move. The easiest way is to slightly tilt the chessman and lightly
press the edge of the chess man in the centre of the square. You can also press the square with a finger. You will hear a
specific jingle and two lights will be illuminated. These two lights indicate the row and column (rank and file) of the square
you are moving from.
2. Place the chessman on the destination square and lightly press the centre of the square. You will hear another "beep"
indicating that the computer has recorded your move.The computer thinks about its next move.
Note: Slight pressure is sufficient providing you press in the middle of the square. Do not press too hard on the squares or the
electronic chessboard may suffer damage over time.
VI. MOVES BY THE COMPUTER
At the beginning of the game, the computer immediately indicates its move by means of the library of opening moves which
contains 20 different positions. Later on in the game, the light at the top left (row 8's light) will flash indicating that it's Black's
move and that the computer is thinking.
When the computer indicates its move, you will hear a certain tone.
1. Two lights will illuminate indicating the row and column of the square whose piece the computer wants to move. Press
lightly on this square and take the piece.
2. Next, the lights show the coordinates of the square the piece is moving to. Place the piece on this square by pressing
lightly. The light will illuminate again showing that it's now your turn.
VII. SPECIAL MOVES
CAPTURES
