Example:
If you wish to find the position of the White Queen press "FP" to select the FIND
mode. Press "E5" for Queen and if the pieces were in their initial positions you will
see the display " q d 1". The leading figure "
" tells you the piece is White,
the "q" tells you it is a Queen and the "d1" tells you that the White Queen is on
square D1. Now press the "G7" key for Black and you will see the display " q
d8". The leading symbol " " indicates Black and the remaining display indicates
Black Queen on square D8.
Now press the key "A1", the display will change to " P H7" where now the "P"
indicates a Pawn and the whole display indicates Black Pawn on H7. Now press
"A1" again the display will change to " P G7" indicating a Black Pawn on G7
and each time you press the "A1" key you will find the position of any further Black
Pawn until the display changes to " P – –" indicating all Pawns displayed. Same
goes for White colour.
If there are no pieces left of the type for which you are searching, the display will
show " – – " for the piece position. To exit FIND mode press ENTER then make
your next move or call off a move from the computer.
