al chess trainer and a partner who’

Using a small Phillips screwdriver
,
remove the battery-compartment panel
screw on the back of
T
ouch Chess.
Install two fresh, alkaline
AAA
batteries,
making sure to follow the diagram in
each battery slot so that the
polarity (+ or
-) of the batteries is correct.

Play a Game Right

Unless you instruct it otherwise,
Touch
Chess gives you the
White pieces

always moves first.
Y
ou’re ready to play!
Besides deciding on a good move, you
have to move the piece in a way that
Touch Chess will recognize what's been
played.
Think of communicating your
move as a two-step process--registering
the
FROM
square and then registering the
TO
square.
Press the stylus down gently on the cen-
ter of the piece on the
FROM
square.
Touch Chess will display the coordinates
of the
FROM
square-for example "E2."
Then press the stylus down gently on the
IMPORT
ANT
NOTE:
When you ar
e in check, you
have very few moves. If you find
you can’t select the move you
want to make, look for
the ‘+’
check sign.
