You can play chess by email or by beaming moves back and forth.Installing games and problemsInstalling Games and ProblemsThe games, chess problems, and ÒFantastic FinishesÓ are contained in the installer Installer LT. Since memory is used by the installer, we recommend that after you have done an installation you remove the installer from your Newtonª.Tap on the installer to run it. The installer will list the names of all the games or problems that it can install as well as the names of the games and problems that are already installed. To install all of the games and problems contained in an installer, tap the ÒInstall AllÓ button. To install an individual game, tap the name of the game and click the ÒInstall SelectedÓ button. The ÒRemove AllÓ and ÒRemove SelectedÓ buttons work in the same way.The ÒDown-ArrowÓ button next to the list of games to be installed displays the next screen of names. The ÒUp ArrowÓ button goes back to the previous screen. Remember that once the games and/or problems are installed, you can remove the Installer from your Newton to free the memory. You do not need the installer to remove games and problems from your Newtonª because ChessPad LT can do this for you.Deleting Games and ProblemsYou can delete an individual game by tapping on it to select it and then tapping the ÒDelete SelectedÓ button. To delete all the games, use the appropriate selection from the Action button.Playing Over a GameChessPad LT begins by retrieving and displaying a list of installed games and problems. To play over a game, tap the name of the game. A description of the game appears in the ÒGame PreviewÓ box. To start reviewing the game tap the ÒView Selected Game/ ProblemÓ button. Use the scroll arrow buttons below the bottom of the Newton screen in the usual way to see more games. During game review, tap the ÒMoveÓ button to see the next move and supporting commentary. Each comment is followed by a small triangle, so if you donÕt see the triangle, use the scroll arrows to scroll down to the rest of the comment. The last move in a game is followed by two small triangles.It is sometimes fun to try to anticipate the next move played in a game. To do this, draw a line from the square the piece is on to the square you think it was moved to. The line will disappear and the piece will move. Alternatively, you can tap the piece you want to move and then tap the square you want to move it to. If you correctly anticipated the move, a small circle will appear momentarily on the square the piece was moved to. If you didnÕt anticipate the move, tap the ÒBackÓ button and either try again or tap the ÒMoveÓ button.The notes to the games often give alternative variations. Although it may be difficult to visualize some of these variations in your head, you can explore them by moving the pieces on the board yourself. The ÒRevertÓ button resets the board so that you can continue playing over the game in progress. Or you can tap the ÒBackÓ button to take back each move until you get to the game position.Tapping the ÒAutoÓ button displays the game automatically. You can stop the playback at any time by tapping the ÒPauseÓ button which appears during auto playback.Chessboard OptionsWhen the chess board is displayed you can set various playback options by tapping the action button and then tapping ÒOptions.Ó You can have either the White or the Black pieces face you by setting the Òboard orientation.ÓYou can have the pieces flash as they move. This makes it easier to see what the move was.You can set the speed of auto playback. You can also choose to have the autoplayback pause when a move with a comment is encountered.You can turn move verification on or off. When move verification is on, only legal chess moves can be made. This option is more relevant for playing chess than for viewing games.To go back to the screen with the list of games, tap the close box in the lower right-hand corner.Chess NotationAlgebraic notation is used to indicate the move played and to show possible alternative moves. A move is described by specifying the piece that is moving and the square it is moving to: Moving a rook to the square f5 is indicated by: Rf5. The symbols for the pieces are:Knight: N Bishop: B Rook: RQueen: Q King: KIf no piece is specified, the piece is assumed to be a pawn. Therefore, e4 means that a pawn is moved to e4. A capture is indicated with an Òx.Ó Thus if a knight captures a piece on d5, the move would be specified as: Nxd5. If a pawn captures a piece, the file of the pawn making the capture is used. For example, Òexd4Ó means that a pawn on the ÒeÓ file made a capture on the square d4.The move ÒNd5Ó means that a knight moved to the square Òd5.Ó If both knights could move to d5, then the column the knight is on is used. Thus, if a knight on c3 moved to d5 then the move would be indicated as ÒNcd5Ó which means the knight on the c file moved to d5. If two pieces on the same file were both capable of moving to the square, then the rank is used to specify the moving piece. For example, ÒR3f5Ó means that the rook on the third rank moved to f5. On rare occasions it is necessary to specify both the file and the rank of the moving piece. A move that puts the king in check is followed by Ò+.Ó For example, Nf6+ means the knight moves to f6 attacking the king. Checkmate is indicated by Ò#.Ó Therefore ÒQe8#Ó means that the queen moved to e8 checkmate.Castling kingside is indicated by: O-O. Castling queenside is indicated by: O-O-O.A move preceded by three dots is a move by Black. For example, 4... Nf5 means that BlackÕs fourth move was to move a knight to the square f5.An Ò!Ó indicates a good move; a Ò?Ó indicates a bad move.Portable Game NotationPortable Game Notation (PGN) is a standard for storing games on computers. It is basically algebraic notation in combination with specifications for including annotations and information about the game and its players. PGN has become a very popular way of storing chess games. There are thousands of PGN games available on computer networks. On America Online, use the keyword ÒChessÓ and them click on the ÒChess LibraryÓ button. On Compuserve, go to the ÒChess ForumÓ and browse the library. On the internet, the FTP site Caissa.Onenet.Net has a large collection of PGN games. You need a copy of ChessPad 2.0 to view games in PGN.Playing a game against a humanTo play your own game, tap the ÒPlay a HumanÓ button. Presto! You have a portable chess boardÑand none of the pieces move when your car hits that pothole!To move a piece, draw a line from the square the piece is on to the square you want to move it to. The line will disappear and the piece will move. You can also tap the piece you want to move and then tap the square you want to move it to. To castle, move the king; the rook will move automatically.To save a game in progress, tap the ÒSave AsÓ button. You can then enter the name of the game and (optionally) a description of it. Once a game is saved, you can replay it by selecting it and tapping ÒView Selected Game/Problem.Ó To continue the game, tap ÒFinal Position Game/ProblemÓ instead of ÒView Selected Game/Problem.Ó After a game has been saved once, you can save changes to it simply by tapping the ÒSaveÓ button. The changed game replaces the existing game. If you wish to save the game without replacing the existing game, tap the ÒSave AsÓ button and give the game a new name. At the bottom of the screen is a chess clock. The time on the left is the time used by White; the time on the right is the time used by Black. You can turn the clock on and off with the ÒClock OnÓ button.By tapping ÒOptionsÓ on the action button, you can turn move verification on and off. You can also set the board orientation so that either the White or the Black pieces face forward.If you are passing your Newton back and forth with your opponent, you may wish to tap the ÒAuto SwitchÓ button. The board orientation will then automatically change depending on whose move it is.Printing, Faxing, Beaming, and MailingChessPad LT allows you to print, fax, beam, or mail a chess game or a chess move. These operations are called ÒRoutingÓ and are initiated by tapping an ÒActionÓ button. To route a game, tap on the game in the list of installed games and then tap the action button. Choose the type of routing you want. If you are beaming or mailing to another Newton, the game will be able to be ÒPut awayÓ and installed for future viewing.To route an individual move, make the move and then tap the ÒActionÓ button. If you are printing or faxing, the position just before the move and the move will be routed. If you are beaming or mailing, just the move will be routed. If you are beaming or mailing to another Newton, then the move can be ÒPut awayÓ by the receiving Newton. If ChessPad is open with the board position showing on the receiving Newton, the move will be played on the board. This means that you can play chess by beaming or mailing moves back and forth. If ChessPad is not open, the move will be added to the end of the game. The sending and receiving Newtons must have saved the game with the same name in order to ÒPut awayÓ a move when the game board is not showing. If you are mailing a move, you can add messages to the text portion of the message when sending the message. In the Outbox, tap on the name of the message and then tap ÒShow text.Ó You can edit the text of the message.LICENSE AGREEMENT©1994-1995 Clear Lake Research Incorporated and its licensors.
