9.3 Adding a piece or
changing the type of a
piece
To add or change a piece,
press SETUP, then press the key
that indicates the type of piece
you want to place on the board.
Then press the square on the
sensory board until the piece
appears as the correct color on
your display board. Press
CLEAR to continue the game.
9.4 Setting up special
positions & problems
Using the three techniques
above, you can easily relocate a
piece by chossing its square,
making it blank, and then choos-
ing another square and setting
up the piece once again.
This is another terrific feature
that allows you to solve prob-
lems 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 King
Arthur to look at, perhaps using
his Infinite Search level (see
Chapter 7).
Normally, it is easier to start
from an empty board to set up
such problems. So first, press
OPTION until “CLr Br” (clear
board) is displayed. Then press
the SETUP key. You’ll see that
your display board is automati-
cally cleared. The word “nOnE”
will appear.
You’re ready to set up the
kings in the new position.
(Notice that the SETUP key is
also the king key.) Press the sen-
sory board square on which one
of the kings should stand. Push
the square until the king is the
proper color on your display.
Then press the square on which
the other king should stand;

queen. If 26. … Qxh6, then White plays 27.
Qxh6+ and will mate on h7.
At any time during a game
when it is your move, you may
change the position on the board
by adding a piece or pieces,
removing one or more pieces, or
even changing any of the
pieces—for example, from a
knight to a queen. Obviously,
this feature lets you strengthen
your side of the game or the
computer’s, resurrect lost
pieces,
or even move your king out of an
imminent checkmate threat.

KING ARTHUR
CHAPTER 9:
SETTING UP SPECIAL
POSITIONS
Using the SETUP key, you
can also set up a problem you
want King Arthur to solve or a
position you want to practice
with King Arthur. Your LCD
board display makes it easy to
see the position and verify it as
you’re setting it up. The whole
process takes only a minute.
9.1 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 con-
tinue the game.
9.2 Changing
the color of a piece
Press the SETUP key. Press
the key that shows the same
type of piece as the one that you
want to change the color of.
(The piece keys are located to
the left of the display.) On the
sensory board, then press the
square of the piece until it
appears the right color on your
display. Press CLEAR to con-
tinue.
Using the above three techniques, you can
easily relocate a piece by choosing its square,
making it blank, and then choosing another
square and setting up the piece once again.
