Setting a Level Mode
You can set the computer to change
the way it plays within a level. In
fast
level mode, the computer makes
more selective searches and looks
more deeply into its position even if
some tactical moves are missing. In
random
level mode, the computer
randomly chooses between two good
moves, letting you practice and play
against different responses.
Notes:
• The computer’s thinking time
might vary if you select a level
mode.
• You can set a level mode at any
level.

UNDOING MOVES
This function lets you take back any
move made by you or the computer
after the move has been completed.
Notes:
• You can take back as many as
26 half-moves during a game.
• To take back your own move, you
must first let the computer make
a counter-move, then take back
the computer's counter-move
first.
To undo a move, press
/UNDO
when it is your turn to move. The
computer takes back its last move.
Press
/UNDO
again when it is
the computer’s turn to move. The
computer takes back your previous
move.
