Congratulations on your purchase of
Excalibur Electronics’ Deluxe Talking
Touch Chess! You’ve purchased both
your own personal chess trainer and a
partner who’s always ready for a game—
and who can improve as you do! Talking
and audio sounds add another dimension
to your Touch Chess computer for
increased enjoyment and play value.

Install the Batteries

With Touch Chess facedown, find the
battery door. Open it and insert two (2)
fresh, alkaline AAA batteries in the bat­tery holder. Note the arrangement of the
batteries called for by the diagram in the
holder. Make sure that the positive tip of
each battery matches up with the + sign
in the battery compartment so that polar­ity will be correct. When the batteries are
properly installed, Touch Chess automat­ically turns on and starts talking letting
you know she's ready for action. If Touch
Chess does not start talking, use a thin
pointed object and press the RESET but­ton. Replace the battery compartment
panel and remove the stylus resting in its
holder on the back of the unit. Now turn
Touch Chess over.

Play a Game Right Away

After you have installed the batteries, the
display will show ENGLISH? asking you

if you would like her to speak Engish. If
you do, press the YES key. If you want
her to speak French or German, press the
NO key until your desired language is
shown and then press the YES key. The
dot-matrix display will show

0011

CHESS

. This indicates you are at the
first move of the game and ready to play
chess. It will also show

+0.0

which is

the score and

00:00

which is the time.

The white box on the screen means it is
white to play. Unless you instruct her oth­erwise, Touch Chess gives you the White
pieces—the ones at the bottom of the
board. White always moves first. You’re
ready to play!

Making your move

Besides deciding on a good move, you
have to move the piece in a way that

2

Touch Chess will recognize what's been
played. Think of communicating your
move as a two-step process--registering
the FROM square and then registering the
TO square.

Press the stylus down gently on the cen­ter of its FROM square. Touch Chess will
say and display the coordinates of the
FROM square-for example "E2." Then
press the stylus down gently on the
square you want to move it to - for exam­ple, "E4." Touch Chess will say the TO
square, confirming that she has registered
your move.

You'll notice that Touch Chess almost
immediately displays her response to
your move. Touch Chess decides on her
own move, of course, and lets you know
what it is on the display. For example, if
you play 1. E2-E4, she may respond E7­E5. You're already playing a game! Enjoy
the contest.

Putting a game “on hold”

Any time it's your move and you wish to
stop playing for a while, just press the
ON/OFF key. Touch Chess will switch
off and go into a sleep mode. She will
remember the last position, including the
elapsed time, as long as you do not inter­rupt the power supply-for example, by
removing the batteries. To resume play,
just press the ON/OFF key.
NOTE: If she is not "thinking," Touch
Chess will automatically turn off after a
period of time, saving your game posi­tion. Use the ON/OFF key to resume the
game.

Draw Messages

During the game, Touch Chess will dis­play the word

DRAW

if a three-time rep-

etition of position occurs, or if there has

been no pawn moved and no exchanges
for 50 moves. When either of these situa­tion takes place, the rules of chess state
that a player can claim a draw. If you
wish, you can ignore the message

and

continue the game. When a stalemate

is

reached, the display will read

SSTTAALLEE

.

Game-ending Messages

Touch chess will announce mate in two
(

MATE2

) and mate in three (

are playing can be rated. When an ‘=’
appears, it indicates you are in two
human player mode. And lastly when an
‘!’ appears on the screen, you are being
warned that one of your pieces is threat­ened with capture. (This is similar to the
friendly "en garde" warning sometimes
used by human players when they are
attacking an opponent’s queen.)

WHY ! Display

Special Situations

Starting Play with the Black Pieces

When you want to play the Black pieces
(to let Touch Chess move first) press the
MOVE key before you make your first
move as White. You’ll see the White and
Black pieces switch places immediately!

Castling

Remember, you must always move the
King first when castling! First press your
king down on its FROM square (if
castling, E1). Then move and press your
king down on its TO square (if castling
kingside, G1). Touch Chess recognizes
castling maneuvers after the king is
moved two squares.

Promoting Pawns

When your pawn reaches the other end of
the board, Touch Chess will automatical­ly promote the pawn to a queen, since this
is the best choice in nearly every case. In
the unlikely event you want to promote
your pawn to a piece other than a queen,
takeback Touch Chess’s move, next use
Touch Chess's SET UP feature to change
your queen to your promoted piece, then
press MOVE.

When Touch Chess pushes a pawn to
your back row, it will always promote to
a queen.

If you want to hear where the piece is that
is being threatened press on the word
WHERE.

If you do not want to be warned of
threats, press OPTION repeatedly until

COACH

is displayed. Press NO until

OFF

appears and finally press CLEAR

to continue play.

Auto Play

If you would like to watch Touch Chess
finish a game for you automatically, press
the PLAYER key repeatedly to set the
number of players to zero. Now press the
MOVE key and watch the game play
itself. You may stop auto play at any time
by pressing the MOVE key. Doing so will
set the number of players back to one.

Levels of Play

Touch Chess has six level types. Two of
the level types (PLY and MATE) are for
analysis. The other four level types are
for play.

Entering Your Own Opening

Touch Chess also allows you to set up
any book opening you want—or even an

opening you invent—to practice. Press
the PLAYER key repeatedly to set play­ers to 2. Then make moves for both sides
until the opening position you want to
practice is reached. Now repeatedly press

PLAYER again to set players to 1. Press
CLEAR and play against the computer in

this position.

Piece Training

There are five special mini-games. The
most famous and successful chess teach­ers in the world take their beginning stu­dents from the simple to the complex by
having them play "mini-games" of chess
that concentrate on just one or more types
of pieces. Even advanced players prac­tice these basics, just as a concert pianist
continues to practice the scales so that
they remain second nature. Like any
great trainer, Touch Chess will play you
these special practice games.
First make sure you are at the start of a
game by pressing NEW GAME. Now
press OPTION until

TRAIN

is dis­played. Then press the YES key. Now
press the figure (Queen, Rook, Bishop,
Knight, or Pawn) above the word TRAIN
of the mini-game you want to try. The
mini-games always include the king and
pawns for both sides. In fact, one mini­game contains just this material (press
PAWN).

Ratings

To view your rating, press OPTION until

RATE

is displayed. Your current rating

appears on the display.

To have your rating change, you must
complete a rated game on a tournament
or sudden death level.

When you are ready to play a rated game,
select the

RATE

option.

1. Press the OPTION key repeatedly until
you see

RATE

appear.

2. Press the YES and the NO key to turn
the option On.

3. Press CLEAR.

Finally select the Tournament Level or
Sudden Death Level you wish to play
against.

When an ‘O’ appears on the display, the
game you are playing can be rated. Since
the game you are playing is rated, you
cannot ask for a HINT, nor UNDO a bad
move, nor use SETUP to improve your

position. You also cannot use the NEW
GAME key to start over during a rated
game.

These conditions attempt to allow you to
experience what it is like to play a game
against an opponent in a rated tourna­ment. In rated tournaments a chess clock
is always used, so that you play your
moves within agreed upon time limits.
Touch chess has the chess clock built in
to it.

If you attempt to use the HINT, SETUP,
UNDO, or NEW GAME keys during
your rated game, Touch Chess will ask
"ARE YOU SURE", and say what result
(draw, win, or loss) will be scored if you
press the YES key.

During a rated game if you are winning
by 9.0 or more points and want Touch
chess to resign, press NEW GAME.
Touch chess will say "ARE YOU SURE I
LOSE". Touch Chess will then wait for
you to press YES.

Using Setup Mode

At any time during a game when it is your
move, you may change the position on
the board by adding a piece, removing a
piece, or changing any of the pieces—for
example, from a queen to a knight.

Removing A Piece

Press the SETUP key. Then repeatedly
press the square of the piece you wish to
remove until the square on the display is
empty. Press CLEAR to continue the
game.

The other four mini-games use kings and
pawns, but add a different single piece to
the exercise-knight, bishop, rook, and
then queen.

Start with the basic king and pawns mini­game.

Make your first move. Your object, as in
regular chess, is to checkmate the king.
Normally, this means both sides will try
to force a pawn through to the other side
of the board safely to promote it to a
queen. You'll learn lots of principles,
tricks, and traps in this training mode that
will win you many full-fledged chess
games!

Adding or Changing a Piece

First press the SETUP key. Notice the
pieces above the word SETUP on the dis­play. Press the piece above the word
SETUP you want to place on the board.
Then press the square until the piece
appears as the correct color on the chess­board. Press CLEAR to continue the
game.

Setting Up Special Positions

This is another terrific feature that allows
you to solve problems that you see in
magazines or newspapers, or that you
make up yourself. It also allows you to
enter game positions you want to play, or
that you want Touch Chess to look at,
perhaps using the Infinite Search level.

Normally, it is easier to start from an
empty board to set up such problems. So
first, press the OPTION key repeatedly
until

CLRBR

(clear board) is displayed.
Now press the SETUP key. You’ll see
that the display chessboard will have no
pieces.

On the chessboard, press the square the
White king is on. Next press the square
the Black king is on once to place a White
king there, and then again to change the
White king to a Black king.

Next, pick out another piece in the prob­lem or position you want to set up, and
press the appropriate piece symbol above
the word SETUP. Then press the square
on the chessboard where this piece
should stand. Press the square repeatedly
until the piece appears in the right color
on your display.

Follow this procedure until all the pieces
in the problem or position are completely
set up.

Make sure that Touch Chess knows

Computers can sometimes

"lockup" due to static discharge

or other electrical disturbances.

If this should happen, use a slim,

pointed object to press the
button marked “RESET.”

which color is to move. You may change
the color of the side to move by pressing
the  symbol above the word SETUP.

Finally, press CLEAR to play or to have
Touch chess analyze the position.

General Rules of Chess

1. The two players must alternate in mak­ing one move at a time. The player with
the white pieces moves first to start the
game.

2. With the exception of castling (see
below), a move is the transfer of a piece
from one square to another square which
is vacant or occupied by an enemy piece.

3. No piece, except the Knight may cross
a square occupied by another piece.

4. A piece moved to a square occupied by
an enemy piece captures it as part of the

Castling cannot occur if:

a) the King has already been moved.
b) the Rook has already been moved.
c) there is any piece between the King
and the Rook.
d) the King’s original square, or the
square which the King must cross, or the
one which it is to occupy is attacked by
an enemy piece.

2. A Pawn may make an en passent cap­ture if it is a reply move to a double pawn
move, and it is a Pawn which is side-by­side with the Pawn which made the dou­ble pawn move. The capture of a white
Pawn is diagrammed below:

squares forward. When capturing, it
moves diaganolly (forward) one square.
See also en passent (below.)

6. The King can move one square in any
direction, as long as it is not attacked by
an enemy piece. See also Castling(below)

Special Moves

1. Castling is a move of both the King
and either Rook which counts as a single
move (of the King) and is executed as
diagrammed below:

same move. The captured piece must be
immediately removed from the chess­board by the player making the capture.

5. When one player moves into a position
whereby he can attack the King, the King
is in “Check”. His opponent must either
a) move the King
b) block the path of the attacking piece
with another piece, or
c) capture the attacking piece.

6. The game is over when there is no
escape for the King from an attacking
piece. This is known as “Checkmate”.

7. The game is over when the king of the
player whose turn it is to move is not in
check and the player cannot make any
legal moves. This is known as
“Stalemate” and is considered a drawn
game.

Individual Moves

Use the HELP key (see page 3) and all
legal moves for each selected piece will
be shown. You will quickly “learn by
doing” the movements of all pieces.

1. The Queen can move to any square
along the same row, column, or diaganols
on which it stands, but cannot pass over
an enemy piece.

2. The Rook can move to any square
along the same row or column on which
it stands, but cannot pass over an enemy
piece. See also Castling (on right.)

3. The Bishop can move to any square
along the diaganols on which it stands,
but cannot pass over an enemy piece.

4. The Knight move is in the shape of an
“L”, moving two squares up or down, and
then one square over. Or it can be one
square up or down, and then two over.

5. The Pawn can move one square for­ward. On it’s first move it may move two

10

3. A Pawn can be promoted if it advances
all the way to the far side of the board. It
is immediately promoted, as part of the
same move, into a Queen, Rook, Bishop,
or Knight, whichever its owner chooses.

Special Care

• Avoid rough handling such as bumping or
dropping.

• Avoid moisture and extreme temperatures.
For best results, use between the temperatures
of 39ºF and 100ºF (4ºC and 38ºC).

• Clean using only a slightly damp cloth.
Do not use cleaners with chemical agents.

Battery Information

• Touch Chess uses 2 “AAA” batteries.

• Do not mix old and new batteries.

• Do not mix alkaline & standard or
rechargeable batteries.

• Install batteries so that the polarity
(+ and -) matches the diagrams in the battery
compartment.

• Use only batteries of the same type and
equivalency.

• Remove exhausted batteries from the unit.

• Do not short circuit battery terminals.

Since a Queen is the most powerful piece,
it is nearly always chosen as the promo­tion piece. Through the promotion
process, there may be more than one
Queen on the board at the same time.

Some Tips on Chess

1. Castle your King into safety as soon as
possible.

2. If you control the center squares you
will achieve an advantage. To do this
move your center Pawns and develop
your Bishops and Knights early in the
game.

3. Take advantage of capture situations,
particulary if you will gain material.
