ongratulations on your purchase of Einstein Chess Wizard. Now, the
challenging game of Chess can travel with you anywhere. Einstein
Chess Wizard offers varying levels of challenging computer opponents, has
simple, intuitive controls and is an expert chess teacher!
Albert Einstein is probably best known for his famous formula, E=mc2, but
this German-born theoretical physicist made unparalleled contributions to
modern scientific thought. In the field of physics, he introduced his special theory and general theory of relativity and, in 1921, his work on the photoelectric
effect won him the Nobel Prize in Physics.
Einstein enjoyed playing the violin and for much of his life, greatly enjoyed
the game of chess. He routinely asked children he met if they liked music or if
they could play chess. He would then teach them the basics of the game, and
would play that child every time that they met.

Find the Pieces
Turn Chess Wizard over carefully with
his chessboard facedown. Find the door
marked game pieces graphic. Open it and
remove the chess pieces. Replace the
door and set the pieces aside for now.
Install the Batteries
With Chess Wizard facedown, find the
door marked with the battery graphic.
Open it and insert two (2) fresh, alkaline
AA 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, Chess Wizard automatically
turns on and starts talking letting you
know he's ready for action. If Chess
Wizard does not start talking, use a thin
pointed object and press the RESET but-
ton on the back. Replace the battery compartment panel, and turn Chess Wizard
over.
Play a Game Right Away
After you have installed the batteries, the
display will show
01CHESS. If does
not then use a thin pointed object and
press the RESET button on the back.
Place the plastic chess pieces on their
start squares (see page 10). The dotmatrix display shows
01CHESS which
indicates you are at the first move of the
game and ready to play chess.
Unless you instruct him otherwise, Chess
Wizard 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
Chess Wizard 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.
Lift the piece or pawn you want to move.
Press the edge of the piece's base down
gently on the center of its FROM square.
Chess Wizard will display the coordinates of the FROM square-for example
"E2." Then press the edge of the piece
down gently on the square you want to
move it to-for example, "E4." Chess
Wizard will beep, confirming that he has
registered your move. Place the piece
gently on its new square. (Some players
like to push the squares with their forefinger while holding the piece in the rest
of the fingers of the same hand.)

Moving Chess Wizard’s
Piece
You'll notice that Chess Wizard almost
immediately displays his response to
your move. Chess Wizard decides on his
own move, of course, and lets you know
what it is on the display below the LCD
board. For example, if you play 1. E2-E4,
he may respond E7-E5. But you need to
move the piece on the board for him.
Follow the same two-step procedure you
did while registering your own movegently pushing on the FROM and TO
squares. You're already playing a game!
Enjoy the contest.
After pressing a FROM square,
press the FROM square again to
select a different FROM square.

removing the batteries. To resume play,
just press the ON/CLEAR key.

Special Situations
Starting Play with the Black Pieces
When you want to play the Black pieces
(to let Chess Wizard 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!
If you're using the playing board with the
plastic pieces, set the Black pieces up at
your end.
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). Chess Wizard recognizes
castling maneuvers after the king is
moved two squares. Sh then reminds you
to complete castling by moving the rook.
Move the rook in the routine manner,
pushing on its FROM and TO squares
normally.
Promoting Pawns
When your pawn reaches the other end of
the board, Chess Wizard 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 Chess Wizard’s move,
next use Chess Wizard's SET UP feature,
then press MOVE.
When Chess Wizard pushes a pawn to
your back row, it will always promote to
a queen. Remember to change the piece
on the board after either side promotes a
pawn.

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, Chess Wizard will play you
these special practice games.
First make sure you are at the start of a
game by pressing NEW GAME. Now
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 or the 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.
Chess Wizard 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, Chess Wizard will ask
"ARE YOU SURE", and show 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 Chess
Wizard to resign, press NEW GAME.
Chess Wizard will show "ARE YOU
SURE I LOSE". Chess Wizard will then
wait for you to press YES.

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.
press +OPTION until TRAIN is displayed. Then press the key (Queen,
Bishop, Knight, Rook, or Pawn) of the
mini-game you want to try. The minigames always include the king and pawns
for both sides. In fact, one mini-game
contains just this material (press PAWN).
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!

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 on the large
sensory board, press the square the piece
is on until the square on your display is
empty. Press CLEAR to continue the
game.

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 Chess Wizard 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 will show NONE, indicating no kings.
On the large sensory board, press the
square the White king is on. Next press

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 key to the left
of the display. Then press the square on
the sensory board 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

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 WHERE key (see page 5) and all
legal moves for each selected piece will
be shown one at a time. 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 (below.)
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
squares forward. When capturing, it
moves diaganolly (forward) one square.
See also en passent (right.)
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 on the next page:
12
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
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
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.
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.
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:
