THIS ITEM IS ONLY ENABLED WHEN IT IS THE THE CHESSMASTER'S TURN TO MOVE. HINT:ASK THE CHESSMASTER FOR ADVICE ON YOUR NEXT MOVE.

BOARD MENU BOARD DESIGN:THE CHESSMASTER OFFERS YOUR THREE DIFFERENT WAYS TO LOOK AT THE BOARD: 2-D:AN OVERHEAD VIEW OF THE BOARD 3-D:A PERSPECTIVE VIEW WAR ROOM:A SMALL 2-D BOARD PLUS THE MOST FREQUENTLY USE STATUS DISPLAYS:CAPTURED PIECES, MOVE LIST AND THE CHESSMASTER'S THINKING. CHESS SET:USE THE CHESSMASTER'S ELEGANT STAUNTAN PIECE SET, OR ONE OF FOUR OTHER PIECE DESIGNS, OR DESIGNS YOUR OWN! USE DELUXE PAINT II OR III. THE CHESSMASTER EXPECTS THE PIECES FILE TO BE IN A SPECIAL ARRANGEMENT. THE EASIEST METHOD IS TO MAKE A COPY OF THE FILE HOLDING THE STANDARD STAUNTON PIECES AND MODIFY THE COPY. THE STAUNTON PIECES ARE FOUND ON CHESSMASTER DATA DISK UNDER THE CHESS SET SUBDIRECTORY. MAKE A COPY OF THE APPROPRIATE FILE;LOAD IT INTO DELUXE PAINT II, AND THEN DRAW YOUR PIECES WITH THE RECTANGLES SHOWN. THE PIECES MUST BE DRAWN IN THE SAME LOCATIONS AS IN THE ORIGINAL FILE, BUT YOU MAY USE ALL OF THE AREA WITHIN THE RECTANGULAR REGION FOR EACH PIECE. THE PIECES ARE "MASKED" WHEN THEY ARE DRAWN ON THE CHESSBOARD. THE MASK REPRESENTS THE AREA WHICH MUST BE "CUT OUT" OF THE BACKGROUND PRIOR TO DRAWING THE PIECE. WHEN YOU DRAW NEW PIECES, YOU MUST ALSO MAKE SURE THE MASKS ARE CORRECT. THE BEST WAY TO MAKE A MASK FOR A NEW PIECE IS TO MAKE A COPY OF THE PIECE IN THE MASKED ARE, THEN ADD ONE EXTRA PIXEL(COLOR DOT) OF WHITE COMPLETELY AROUND THE PIECE. FINALLY, FILL IN THE ENTIRE MASK WITH SOLID WHITE. THE SAMPLE PIECE FILE SHOULD MAKE THIS PROCESS CLEAR. CLOCKS:FOR EACH PLAYER, THE CHESS CLOCKS SHOW THE NAME, THE ELAPSED TIME AND THE LAST TWO MOVES MADE. COORDINATES:USING THIS OPTION, YOU MAY TOGGLE THE DISPLAY OF RANK(1-8) AND FILE (A-H) COORDINATES ALONG THE EDGE OF THE CHESS BOARD. IF YOU ENTERS MOVES FROM THE KEYBOARD, YOU MAY FIND COORDINATE DISPLAY CONVENIENT. ROTATE:FOR ADDED INSIGHT INTO THE GAME, USE THIS OPTION TO VIEW THE CHESS BOARD FROM ANY SIDE. IF YOU HAVE CHOSEN TO PLAY BLACK, YOU WILL PROBABLY WANT TO ROTATE THE BOARD SO THAT WHITE IS AT THE TOP.

CHOICES MENU ENTER YOUR NAME:YOU MAY ENTER A NAME WHICH WILL BE DISPLAYED ABOVE THE CLOCK FOR THE SIDE YOU HAVE CHOSEN TO PLAY. SOUND:THE CHESSMASTER USES VOICE PHRASES TO KEEP YOU INFORMED OF THE STATE OF THE GAME. YOU MAY CHOOSE FROM THE FOLLOWING SETTINGS: SILENT:IDEAL FOR PLAYING AT WORK OR LATE AT NIGHT. VOICE:ON SYSTEMS WITH ADEQUATE FREE MEMORY, CHESSMASTER WILL VERBALLY REPORT CHANGES IN STATUS. MUSIC:THE CHESSMASTER WILL USE MUSIC TO SIGNAL MOVES. PIECE SLIDE:WHEN PIECE SLIDE IS OFF, CHESS PIECES WILL "POP" FROM THEIR STARTING SQUARE TO THE DESTINATION SQUARE. YOU CAN USE THIS TO SPEED UP PLAY. NOTATION:THE MOVES CAN BE DISPLAYED IN ALGEBRAIC OR COORDINATE NOTATION. COMMENTARYU:WHEN THIS ITEM IS TURNED ON,THE CHESSMASTER WILL PROVIDE ADDITIONAL INFORMATION ABOUT THE PROGRESS OF THE GAME. ANNOUNCE OPENING:WHEN YOU TURN ANNOUNCE OPENINGS ON, THE CHESSMASTER WILL TELL YOU THE NAME OF AN OPENING AS SOON AS IT RECOGNIZES THE SEQUENCE OF MOVES FROM IT OPENING BOOK.

COLORS:YOU MAY SELECT THE COLRS USED FOR BOARD SQUARES OR THE PIECES. WINDOWS UP TO FIVE INFORMATIONAL WINDOWS CAN BE DISPLAYED AT ONE TIME:THINKING, MOVE LIST, CAPTURED PIECES, BEST VARIATION AND LEGAL MOVES. A WINDOW MAY BE MOVED BY DRAGGING ITS TITLE AREA. WHEN REMOVED, ALL WINDOWS REMEMBER THE LAST LOCATION AT WHICH THEY WERE DISPLAYED. WHEN A WINDOW IS OPENED AGAIN, IT WILL APPEAR AT ITS LAST DISPLAYED LOCATION. TO CLOSE(REMOVE) A WINDOW, CLICK IN THE SMALL BOX (THE "CLOSE GADGET") IN THE UPPER LEFT-HAND CORNER OF THE WINDOW. THINKING WINDOW:GIVES YOU A PEEK INTO THE CHESSMASTER'S BRAIN. THERE ARE SEVERAL PIECES OF INFORMATION DISPLAYED. BEST:THE BEST SEQUENCE OF MOVES(BASES ON THE RESULTING SCORE) THAT THE CHESSMASTER HAS FOUND SO FAR. IF YOU FORCED THE CHESSMASTER TO MOVE AT THIS INSTANT, IT WOULD MAKE THE FIRST MOVE FROM THIS SEQUENCE. THE REST OF THE MOVES IN THIS SEQUENCE ARE YOUR EXPECTED REPLY TO THE CHESSMASTER'S MOVE, ITS ANSWER TO YOUR REPLY, AND SO ON. WHEN DEEP THINKING IS ON AND IT IS YOUR TURN TO MOVE, THE BEST LINE IS BASED ON YOUR MAKING THE MOVE THAT THE CHESSMASTER PREDICTED YOU WOULD MAKE IN REPLY TO ITS LAST MOVE(THE SECOND MOVE IN THE PREV DISPLAY-SEE BELOW). SCORE:REFLECTS HOW FAR AHEAD (+) OR BEHIND(-) THE CHESSMASTER THINKS IT WILL BE IF THE BEST LINE OF PLAY IS PLAYED OUT.
