- To begin a series of puzzles, select one of the menu items under the
- Questions menu. The first position will start after you have made
- your selection.
-
- There are a number of menu items you can select beforehand.
- You can choose whether or not the answer will be displayed
- (if you pass on that question).
-
- You can select a different time limit. When your time is up, the
- puzzles end, regardless of whether you have finished the questions or not.
- You can recreate a different competition time limit.
-
- In each position,you are told which player it is to move and you are to
- find the best move in that position.
- The player whose move it is will be playing up the board.
-
- After you have decided upon your move, click the left mouse button while
- the mouse pointer is over the piece you want to move. Then press the left
- mouse button on the square you want the piece to move to.
-
- If your answer was correct, the word correct will be displayed and you will
- score. If your answer was wrong, you may keep attempting the question until
- you have the right answer. You may elect to pass on a question by clicking
- in the Text or Score window.
-
- You will only score if the first attempt was correct.
- (Note you can only do this if the appropriate menu item is active).
-
- After you have completed your move, you will need to click the left mouse
- button once more. This will either introduce the next position or show the
- reply to your move, to which you must reply again.
-
- After you have attempted every question in a section, or your time runs out
- (which ever happens first) you will be given an approximate performance
- rating for that section.
-
- If the score exceeds the current high score for that section,
- the score will be saved to disk. You will also add a name of your choice.
- This will keep a record of what sections you have attempted and give you a
- target to beat.
-
- After this, the program will start again. If you wish to leave the program
- at any stage, just select quit from the pull-down menu.
