Champion 2250 XL Chess Computer
(600-2215)                 Teaching Mode              Faxback Doc. # 46726

Your chess computer has five built-in teaching modes that you can use to
help you learn the basic moves, tactics, strengths, and weaknesses of
selected pieces in a game setting.

In the teaching mode, the computer sets up the display to simulate a real
game where both the black and white kings and all pawns are in their
starting positions.  Then, when you select a piece the computer adds the
piece you selected to the setup.  This lets you play a game using only the
pieces you set up, making it easy to see only the strengths and weaknesses
of the piece you selected without being distracted by other pieces.

Follow these steps to use a teaching mode while it is your turn to move.

1.  Press LEVEL.

2.  Press one of the following piece symbol keys to select the pieces you
    want to add to the board.

    Press:                              To Select:

    King Symbol                         king, queen, and pawn

    Rook Symbol                         king, rook, and pawn

    Bishop Symbol                       king, bishop, and pawn

    Knight Symbol                       king, knight, and pawn

    Pawn Symbol                         king and pawn

    Both the black and white kings and all pawns are displayed in their
    starting positions, and the piece you selected appears in its starting
    position. tEAch and the symbol for the piece you selected also appears
    on the display.

    For example, if you pressed the rook piece symbol key, both black and
    white rooks are shown in their starting positions.

    Note:  If you press the queen piece symbol key in this step, the
           computer sets up the game board with all pieces and does not
           allow itself to play any moves from an opening book.

3.  Set up the board as shown on the display for the teaching mode you
    selected.

4.  Press ENTER to select the teaching mode or CLEAR to cancel the
    selection. If you press ENTER, the computer starts a new game using
    the piece you selected in Step 2.
