Your RadioShack Master 2200X Chess Computer is one of the most versatile
chess computers available. With its advanced features and chess program
written by a world computer chess champion, the computer is ideal for
everyone from the beginner or casual player to the professional and
tournament chess expert. You can set the computer so it plays with the
cunning of a grandmaster or as tamely as an absolute beginner.
The computer's options let you simulate the sights, sounds, and intensity
of championship and tournament play. You can let the computer act as a
referee while you play against another person, turn the computer's sound
on or off, and display and hear a ticking game clock during play. The
computer also displays information that can help you improve your chess
skills.
The computer's many features include:

you press a piece against a
square.

position and verification,
level, position set up, search
depth principal variation,
position search, rotating

information.

display move strategy, search
depth, time per move, move

move possibilities per second
while the computer is thinking.

or select tournament opening
books for the most challenging
play.
